Waiting to see how South Carolina came in. There was ALOT of same day voters. That doesn’t swing in sanders favor. Warren got her share of votes here too, that takes away from Bernie as well. It’s a remarkable night for a Biden.

The talk of Bernie having an insurmountable number of delegates after tonight has evaporated.

Only 4% of the vote was counted when the call was made. I'm about to turn in now, and I hope things are a bit clearer by morning.

Waited till Sunday to complete my ballot, and had hubby drop it off on Monday at one of the three voting centers in our little coastal town. I think a LOT of people waited till Sunday or Monday to complete ballots and drop off, and I think a LOT of people voted in person because they waited till SC primary was over.
