The answers, coming up. John cloudy and asheville, off and on rain across buncombe we will talk about tha carol the primaries are around the corner and south carolin of a handful of states with separate primary dates for democrats and republicans. Michae Patrick Hussion has why this is the case. Patrick having two primary days may be as simple as, thats just the way we have always done it. It makes South Carolina standout not once, but twice. , patrick when it comese South Carolina president ial primary, Greenville County election official Conway Belangia has a Time Sensitive Task at hand. The idea of conducting two elections, two saturdays apart is extremely difficult. Patrick the palmetto state is an open primary, which means registered voters have the choice of participating in the republican primary on february 20, or the democratic primary on voters political affiliation is. But the question still remains. Do you know why republicans cant just share a primary date . Actually, i do not. Thats probably not very helpful, is it . I have no idea why they would have two separate days. I would imagine its because the state is pretty divided politically. Sorta past history, theyve done it in the past. It provides both parties with their own special day. Patrick thats exactly right. The state elections comn says its each partys decision to choose their ow, stems from past years when the parties were in charge of running their own elections. Now, the State Government has taken over, but a the partys to still choose the parties to still choose their primary dates. And South Carolinae it is one of 12 statesConway Belangia told me that since South Carolina is the first in the south primary, both republicans and democrats just simply want their own day in the sun. Of course, he said we will continue to see that with the amount of National Media attention on those two days in february. It is a good reminder, and an inspiration to me to see this.
