The S.C. Democratic Party's website, which incidentally effectively illustrates the online gap between the parties when compared with the GOP's, has a clear run-down of the state's convoluted delegate-appointment process.
In addition to being just plain useful, the explanation includes bonus self-parodic support of pseudo-quotas, too! Our goal is to elect a delegation that is at least 50% African American, as well as at least 3 GLBT delegates and 5 who are under 30. The election of At-Large delegates may be used to reach this goal. Hillary is already lowering expectations and talking up delegate count, which has become the loser's mantra in this strange primary season.
