Tallying up the number of Democrat voters in South Carolina's June 10, primaries may indicate why the party is seen as all-but un-electable for statewide office. While approximately 300,000 voters cast ballots for Republicans, the number of votes cast for statewide-office democrats was in the 115,000 range. This lethargy among the Donkeys is likely an embarrassment to the party.
The State newspaper, a regular promoter of liberals and their causes, makes it difficult to find the number of voters in the Democrat Primary. The State makes GOP Primary numbers easy to access on their website, but does not offer a comparison of party turnout. It could be that some Democrats crossed over, in an effort for relevance. But that theory is not discernable. According to the SC Election Commission, about 454,500 votes were cast in Tuesday primaries. The participation rate was close to 16 percent.
