Voters woke up early to cast their ballots and it has been busy all day, right colby . Reporter it has been very busy. We are at the Presbyterian Church, and people have been coming in the door to cast their vote in the primary. We have the chair with us to the five forms of id. We went over them earlier today and we have those on the website. Five photo identifications, what is the process . We can do a provisional ballot. You can fill that out and it would be sent to the commission and you can provide identification to the commission. It will give you the date and you will know the commission identification from you and the ballot will be turned in. Reporter something people are caught off guard by, is they come in with sweatshirts explained that process. As far as inside the polling office, there can be there cant be any campaign literature. It has been that way for years. Every now and then, we have to reinforce it. Reporter weve been talking about expected numbers. There are supposed to be Record Numbers. Have you seen that, today, compared to previous years . The amount of people coming in, so far . It is much higher than what we anticipated, for premiers previous primaries at this location. Reporter what about absentee ballots, they have been very high . That is correct. Reporter was is expected and left in lexington county . Im not really sure. I am told that for early indications when they saw the it. The day is young and im sure it will be coming this afternoon. The good news, there is no wait and people get in and out quickly. Reporter people that have been coming in say that they are surprised there is not a line. Is there a point where a line is expected . If someone wants to come here from lexington county, what should they workaround . Sooner is better and on saturday, if you can drop by when you are out, it is fine. Closer to 7 00, you will have more people. Reporter thank you so much. We are at the Presbyterian Church, one of the largest precincts in lexington county and there is no wait right now.

If you go to vote someplace else, your vote is getting cast. When it comes to the primary, it all comes down to delegates. May be, even superdelegates, next saturday. What does that mean . Heres a breakdown. Starts with the were delegates. Each state is a lot of delegates, both republican and their Party Leaders or early supporters of candidates and come caucus day, after the popular vote is tallied, the delegates are divided up and then they go to the National Convention to vote for your candidate on your behalf. Here is where it gets weird. They do it differently. This year, republican needs 1237 of 2472 delegates to secure the nomination. 17 delegates after iowa and New Hampshire. Become the party nominee. You may think, Bernie Sanders is ahead after the landslide so. Hillary clinton is crushing the excuse me . That is right. This is the part where it gets perplexing. Democrats have a superdelegate. Those fancy delegates are not bound by popular vote. They can vote for whichever candidate they want. Lets show you New Hampshire to explain. Bernie hampshire Bernie Sanders crusted. New hampshires 24 delegates and sanders got 15, based on popular vote and clinton racked up nine. New hampshire has eight of those superdelegates, six of whom have pledged support to clinton, bumping her number up to 15. Now, New Hampshire is basically a tie. Other delegates have not announced to they will support, just yet. So many superdelegates in states that havent voted have come out to back Hillary Clinton and it is virtually impossible for sanders to lock up the nomination even if he keeps grabbing the popular vote. Those fancy delegates have the right to change their mind at any time. To quote yogi berra, it aint over til its over. All right. There is the explanation of how delegates work. Meanwhile, and South Carolina, there are 50 delegates for the Republican Party and 59 for the democratic party. A lot of attention has been put on South Carolinas status as the first in the south primary. Senator john mccain and former arkansas governor mike huckabee. Mccain won with 33 percent South Carolina has had a good record of picking the eventual nominee for the gop. In 2008, and a very closely watched and contested race between arizona senator john mccain and former arkansas governor, mike huckabee, mccain one with 33 here before winning the eventual nomination. In 2012, the state picked it english with 20 . Mitt romney would eventually get the nomination. And rich actually ended up hitting out of the race before the Republican Convention that year. Something else a lot of people talked about, was in for jackson, parris island, all in our state no doubt whoever wants to win mustwin the vote with the military veterans. In South Carolina, 12 of the overall population or if you count heads, about 390 residents 390,000 residents are veterans. This spoke on Veterans Issues and military funding in the rallies and according to a cnn exit poll from 2012, 21 of the voters leaving leading the themselves as veterans.
