SC Primary articles — Eisert

The Post and Courier article, “Clinton trounces Sanders to win South Carolina Democratic primary,” by Maya T. Prabhu and Schuyler Kropf, discusses Clinton’s win in South Carolina as compared to her and her husband’s history with voters in the south. The article mentions the exit poll released by The Associated Press as a source for information on Clinton’s appeal to black voters, most of which were women and voters over the age of 30. The article uses information from The Associated Press, like percentages on voters’ races, backgrounds and more and on their inclinations towards or against Clinton’s policies and ideals. The article also uses the AP information to compare voters’ feelings about Clinton and Sanders. The remainder of the article focuses on this comparison and provides quotes from voters in support of either side.

The other Post and Courier article, “Black turnout boosts Clinton in a big way,” by Robert Behre, discusses Clinton’s backing from the black community and its effect on the election as whole. Along with Sanders, Trump is also discussed in this article. This article, as opposed to the other Post and Courier article, focuses more on the specific demographic details of the voting. Percentages regarding the demographics are given and broken down, as well as margins comparing results in different counties. This article is more analytical of this primary than the first.
