Every state counts, no matter who they choose or chose to vote for

[KingFlorez]

Just thought I would put that out there. I was disappointed when Clinton lost New Hampshire by such a wide margin, but I didn't believe for one minute that their vote did not count for anything or think that they should be ignored.

Again, I just thought I would put this out there as there have been some posts that have been seemingly dismissive of South Carolina because it is a red state in general elections or because it is somehow less educated than other states.

Every vote matters.

9. Every state counts

I don't get the OP. No one ever said counts should not count.

2. Nothing more progressive than saying ppls votes shouldn't count

bc the outcome & "values" aren't the same.

3. That's right. And that's why Clinton and Sanders should wait for ALL states...

...to have a vote/caucus.

4. So you're for every state voting before the nominee is chosen?

I just want to be sure I understand what you're saying.

5. That is how the process works

The nominee is not chosen until after the last primary and at the convention. Granted, in many cycles some candidates will drop out and there will be a presumptive nominee, but nonetheless all states do vote.

My point was about posts that have been made that dismiss South Carolina as being irrelevant to the overall process.

6. I'm heartened to hear that.

Many will be crowing that it's over tomorrow.

7. Except when that state is white

like New Hampshire, right?

Or has a lot of naive students who just want free stuff like Iowa, am I right?

And actually yes in general South Carolina is a very uneducated state. They were ranked dead last just last year. They dropped below Mississippi.

8. I was talking about why every state counts, not why they vote how they do

Each candidate has groups of people they appeal to. My point was about how every state counts in the process regardless of how they vote.

11. Those were the dismisals of these states' voters

put forth by Clinton supporters during their caucuses and primaries.

So forgive me if being lectured to today by more Clinton supporters about how important SC voters now are rings just a bit disingenuous.

12. No need to be confrontational

This is supposed to be a positive thread, not another arguing match.

13. Sigh.

10. only states that vote for Bernie (swoooon) count.

14. It's not the worst state in the USA.

And, just like Alabama and Mississippi, it has the rest of the union to to help it along.
