    Apparently this whole loyalty oath thing has backfired on

Monday they will not require voters to declare they are Democrats in
order to cast a ballot Tuesday. The party scuttled the pledge after
some voters, analysts and others said the idea would keep independents
from the polls. SC voters don't register by party, and primary
elections are open to anyone who pledges they have voted in only one
party's contest. As many as 20 percent of voters are
independents.</cite>"
<p>Apparently, SC Democrats have changed their mind. Maybe I'll have
more to say after I vote tomorrow.</p>
