There was never any doubt that Hillary Clinton would prevail in South Carolina. Her 45 point margin of victory over Sanders exceeded the findings of every poll except Clemson’s, released on February 26.
My own statistical model, based on FEC individual campaign contributions, projected a 60.2% to 39.8% win for Clinton. Even though it was off on the margin, the model accurately identified two of the three districts where Clinton had her highest scores. It correctly found that Trey Gowdy’s district would give Sanders his second highest score, too.
The primary result means that South Carolina’s 53 delegates will be allocated with 39 for Clinton and 14 for Sanders instead of the 32 to 21 split that the model projected.
There's still a long haul to get to the 2382 delegates needed for the nomination. It's too soon to be complacent.
