Haley will be the last standing once the convictions start coming.

Your bolded claim is a flat out lie. There are only 3.25 million registered voters TOTAL in SC and you are trying to claim they are all Republicans. It was close to or a record turnout for the SC Republican primary. Over 760k, not 700k.

Only 4% of registered voters, 131,000, turned out for South Carolina's democratic primary.

I hate this new "mail-in ballet" trend. A Renaissance-inspired dance routine must really be seen in person to be appreciated.

Is a vote valid only when it goes to the person you approve of? How is making a legal, legitimate vote a "scam"?

Dems can choose to vote Republican. So here the dems are again voting for Haley, not because they want her to win in 2024, but they want to push Trump back. It didn't work so well in New Hampshire and don't think it'll work in the Trump state of SC.

I'm sure Haley knows this. She can't be that dumb not to know what's happening. She should just drop out. I'm so sick of all her emails, texts, postcards everyday in the mail, etc. She is spending that money for sure. I just keep deleting and tossing in the trash.
Didn't work out to well, did it!

I don't truly believe that you need it spelled out but just so there are no excuses...

They weren't voting their values. It was tactical voting with the intent of affecting the outcome of an election held by a party they neither are a member of nor hold its values.

It's a lie. Lies are dishonest. Being dishonest in any contest is cheating.

No more excuses.

Republicans in SC want open primaries to go away. There was even a question on the ballot to get the legislature to bring up changes. But they won't because the powerful in the SC like it.

Is it "cheating"? No. Haley even sent letters to Dem votes encouraging them to vote Saturday, knowing they most likely will not support her in the General.

Did you think it was dishonest when Republicans did it in 2020? (A similar % of the 2020 Dem Primary was made up of Republicans as the 2024 GOP Primary was made up of Democrats)

Do you think it was dishonest when Rush Limbaugh pushed for "operation chaos" in 2008?

Do you think its dishonest if someone prefers Candidate A (regardless of party) and would vote for candidate A over candidate B or candidate C in a General, but votes for candidate B in a Primary over candidate C, due to them being able to at least stomach candidate B and absolutely despising candidate C?

The NY Times was the main site I followed, so it must have been there. It was in a bar graph form.

What I saw on the Times was Precinct level results and also broke the vote down by the overall dynamics of the Precinct, which is a bit different than what you see through exit polls. For example they listed precincts in strong Biden areas, but that doesn't mean they are Democrats voting. Link is below.
