Voting Gets Underway In South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) – Polls are opening across South Carolina as Democrats make their selections in the state’s presidential primary. Voting is open on Saturday until 7 p.m. ET throughout the state. There are a dozen candidates on the ballot, although the slate of names was set before some dropped out of the race. Former Vice President Joe Biden has expressed confidence of victory in South Carolina, a state where he has long relationships and has led recent surveys. There is no party registration in South Carolina, meaning Republicans – who have no primary here – are free to vote in the Democratic contest.
