President Joe Biden won the South Carolina primary on Saturday, the contest that revitalized his 2020 campaign and now has given him his first official victory in his bid for a second term.
The Associated Press declared Biden the winner at 7:23 p.m. based on an analysis of initial vote results showing him with a decisive lead in key locations throughout the state. At the time the race was called, Biden was leading statewide with about 97% of the vote, nearly double the 49% he received in the 2020 primary. Almost an hour after the race was called, Biden’s vote percentage remained largely unchanged at about 97%.

97%? You mean these are actually votes? With real people voting? Aw, c’mon, that can’t be right!

What is wrong with the voters in SC? Can't they read or DO they read.

Only 140K South Carolinians voted. Hardly a landslide. Where was RFK Jr? Oh yea, the Democrats have disowned him, because he's better liked that FJB.

Okay, I did look it up. Someone named Marianne Williamson got about 2700 votes and a guy named Dean Philips got 2200. Biden got 126,000. Wonder if Williamson and Philips really exist.

They could have called it a day before, but that would have looked bad.
Between blocking candidates from ballots, Dominion machines and vote harvesting....Biden can be declared a winner in any election....even by Fox.

It’s the old political trick. When the numbers are small, use percentages. When the numbers are high, publish those.

97% sounds like the kind of numbers out of great democracies such as the Soviet Union, Iran, and North Korea.

And who didn't see this coming. Biden don't take too much solace in this because your poll numbers everywhere else are in the toilet!

Briben's jack-booted thugs are frantically searching for the 3% who voted for someone else in order to ship them off to the nearest reeducation camp.

Stalin would be jealous of that solid 'victory'. Seems the Dems have more than perfected the old Soviet electoral results. Sas ist der Windel's finest moment. Heil Diaper!

They could have called it Monday -- the outcome was determined before the first vote got counted.

I’m betting that most of those Pedo Joe votes came from Clyburn’s district.

RFK couldn't make the SC ballot? Doesn't seem to be a very serious candidacy.

'Cause the fix was in.
Even little Kim in North Korea had a few more minutes to worry about his last election victory than Sleepy Creepy Crooked President Uncle Joe had to worry about the SC results.

Those votes represent 3% of the voting population of SC. So Joe might enjoy getting 3%, but it is bad omen for 3% Joe

why did South Carolina officials even bother to have the election? -- oh, that's right comrade clyburn had to have something to cheer about relating to his favorite hand puppet candidate and corner office holder at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave

In 2020 SC primary Brandon got 262,000 votes out of 490,000. This primary he got 126,000 out of 131,000. This article sounds just like a Pravda puff piece for Stalin rather than the guy named Joe...Oh, wait.

Joe has had some memorable campaign screams over the years:
"If you don't vote for me, you're not black!"
"The Republicans? Why, they wanna put y'all back in chains!"

So, with two unserious names beside his on the one-party primary ballot, running basically unopposed, with a laughable fraction of the population going to the polls, the current President of the United States wins a state election. Yay?

Back in the day, Peron in Argentina was also the only one on the ballot.

We live in Horry County--Myrtle Beach country. Only six thousand people stood in not-very-long lines and voted for Joe. Pathetic.
