Sanders accused Republican governors of attempting to suppress the vote. Martin O’Malley, who suspended his campaign on February 1, was still listed on the ballot and pulled in 714 votes.

Sanders says he expects to do well in Colorado, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Massachusetts and his home state of Vermont. “She would be winning 75 to 100 more delegates than Sanders, at least”. “Because today you sent a message. I think for us that’s about as bad as it’s going to get”. “No question, Secretary Clinton won that state and she won it big”. “They showed me crumbling classrooms in communities too long neglected”. “It has never occurred to me to find a way to get fewer people to vote…”
“Despite what you hear, we don’t need to make America great again”.
Clinton had long led by a wide margin in polling of the Palmetto State, where African American voters make up more than half of the Democratic electorate. “We need a commander chief who has foresight and good judgment”, Gabbard told “Meet the Press”.
While Hillary Clinton’s win over Bernie Sanders in the Nevada caucus was pretty close, the same can’t be said for her victory in SC yesterday-a landslide victory. While Sanders spent the end of the week outside of SC, his campaign did invest heavily in the state. “Let me be clear on one thing tonight”.
He vowed to fight on aggressively, saying: “This campaign is just beginning”. But Hillary and her supporters were elated, describing SC as a turning point in the campaign.
That puts her in place to win big in the south on Super Tuesday this week.
Turnout for the 2016 SC contest was off by a third from the 2008 primary, the last time there was a contested Democratic presidential primary in the Palmetto State. Clinton won the state’s contest with more than 73 percent of the vote, compared to Sanders’ 26 percent.
Black voters powered Mrs Clinton to victory in SC, with eight in 10 voting for her. She also won over most women and voters 30 and older, according to early exit polls.

The Georgia poll was conducted February 18-23 and reached 543 likely Republican voters, with a margin of error of plus-minus 4.2 percentage points, and 461 likely Democratic voters, with a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points. Tomorrow, voters in 12 states will cast their ballots, something that will divide up 661 Republican and 865 Democratic delegates.
