Of note from 538's projections: Sanders and Biden now have about equal chance of winning SC thesquanderer Feb 2020 #62

Is Bernie projected to get more delegates in SC than Joe? Tiggeroshii Feb 2020 #115

Here's the info on South Carolina... thesquanderer Feb 2020 #133

No he is not! His vote total in IA which he did not win, went from 40+ in 16 to 25+ in 2020 Thekaspervote Feb 2020 #56
