The republicans know and have known for years that the demographics and the issues
doom them in the long run so that is why they have to pack the courts, control the media,
rig the elections, and gerrymander the districts.

S. Carolina should almost be a go to blue state because it is 35% African American and
11% Hispanic which means if just 5 or 6% of the white votes goes for D then the state
flips.
