What Went Down At The South Carolina Primary

In completely non-results-related news, today marked the first statewide election in South Carolina with new voting equipment, purchased last year. The machines were already used in a special election for a state house seat, as well as some municipal elections. I haven’t seen reports of any problems, and they’re more secure than the old machines (which were completely digital with no paper records), but that doesn’t mean there weren’t still concerns raised about security.

By the way, my sister just came into the room where I’m live blogging and told me my roller coaster line was funny. So … there!

Initial actual results are showing Biden with a VERY large lead — 58-13-12 over Sanders and Steyer — although it looks like this is mostly absentee voting from rural counties, which was expected to be very good for him.
