I am surprised that the margin was not much wider. Given the large number of Trumptards in South Carolina, I would have thought the Trump Faithful would have pushed this hen party through with even more gusto. Admittedly, there wasn’t much of a choice, but I perceived enough difference to go and vote for Norman. No matter what, our Senate seat will go from a male who Legislated like a woman to his sister. Nikki Haley should have taught us that if you want something fucked up, you elect a man. If you want it REALLY fucked up, elect a woman. While I doubt she has a chance in this heavily MIGA state, I will vote to REALLY fuck things up and vote for Andrews.
No man! I am just sick of the Republican party and these totally shit candidates they keep giving us to work with. If they give us nothing but Democrats in Republican labels, then I may as well vote for a real Democrat.
I understand and am sick of the rinos but will vote libertarian instead. The democrat party is way too unhinged to even consider especially a woman who thinks transitioning a young child is ok,
Neither candidate is worth my vote and neither will receive it in November. I abstained from Lindsey’s last election and I’ll write in my preferred candidate this time.
It’s true that many of the Republican candidates are terrible. The Democrats are far worse.

As frustrating as it is unsurprising. I already view Republicans as below average Americans, but SC Republicans are below average Republicans. They really will just vote for any clod, for any reason, or just no reason at all.
This is as dumb as SC Democrats giving Alvin Greene a primary win, except Republicans do something on this level of stupid on such a consistent basis it defies all logic. I mean, how long was Lindsay senator again? Let alone Nancy Mace or post-affair Mark Sanford.
Anyways, as my namesake suggests, you know what needs to be done in November.
“Dr. Annie” is nothing more than a failed political candidate who happened to be a doctor before she jumped into an empty seat to run against (and get trounced by) Crazy Train Mace. She claims to have gotten interested in politics after the Parkland shooting. She’s never led anything.
Graham-Nordone was commissioner and agency head of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind. Additionally, she is on the South Carolina State Workforce Development Board and the SC Works Management Committee. She is currently the elected president of the National Council of State Agencies for the Blind.
Who has a better background and experience for working on South Carolina’s behalf in DC, a South Carolina born, state agency head, with national leadership experience or a Kentuckian doctor, tired of being a doctor?
I have underestimated the still-substantial power of Fox News over the 60+ demo, who are the ones who gave the win to Nordone. Norman was his own worst enemy though and didn’t deploy the funds he had available to push back on the neocon TV/text/social media blitz – I guess he thought he had Alan Wilson runoff vibes; swing and a miss (but Norman is known for that to begin with.) At the end of the day, neither candidate excited me at all. But I am curious about possible undetected Dem crossover votes – not making any claims, but curious.
12% of the Registered voters voted. This is not a mandate. Write-in in the General. Force a hand count. Then we’ll know the real numbers from the election.
That would be a great idea! As I have long said, it should be law that in ALL elections, from School Board to President, primaries to general election, that there be a “None Of The Above” choice on every ballot.
IF you are one of those defeated by a NOTA selection, you are prohibited from running for any public office for the next ten years. That might be a way to de-rail the political careers of some of the worst candidates and give the voters better choices.

Your vote for Andrews shows it’s true that democrats are voting in R primaries as claimed. It also shows that you are REALLY fucked up.

What a way to run a republic.

A doctor versus a ditzy dipshit.

And yet she’s still much smarter than a Trumpsucker like you.

“Graham-Nordone was commissioner and agency head of the South Carolina Commission for the Blind.”
That’s a niche commission with a budget of $90 million.
I’m sorry but the amount of underwhelming nonsense post-hoc justification propping up this candidate is a joke.
Anyone notice how butch Ditzy Darline looks? Maybe she shares the genes for repressed homosexuality with her dead faggot brother.
That possibility has crossed my mind, as well.
