NPV, Low Quality article lacking basic facts

The whole long second paragraph makes it sound like the primary system is designed completely by shadowy forces behind the RNC. This is clearly untrue. The legislature of South Carolina sets it's date, and their concerns are likely to be to maximize the influence on the process, not to serve as a firewall. Are all of the voters thinking: "our job it to stop insurgents", as the paragraph implies.

Meanwhile basics are not included in the article. Does it have open or closed voting, or something in between. How are delegates awarded?

Needs a lot of work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.22.76.12 (talk) 21:50, 1 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I reworded the first few paragraphs and made it more neutral. SirLagsalott (talk) 12:17, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Heavy focus on Republican primary

The lead only mentions the Democratic primary once when discussing the racial makeup of South Carolina. The rest of it talks about Republican strategy and results. The lead needs to be shortened and it needs to adequately cover both parties. SirLagsalott (talk) 12:17, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
