Absentee votes point to a very good night for HRC in SC (Hillary Group)

Text cross-posted from GDP.

South Carolina has been posting twice daily demographics on absentee voting submissions. And, boy, do those demographics point to good news for Clinton on strength of the massive advantage she has with African American voters.

Through this morning, 36,890 absentee ballots have been submitted. Of those ballots 26,448 are from African Americans--a whopping 72%.

And if you don't understand why that is pointing to a monumental night for Hillary on the 27th, well, I'll let Harry Enten of 538 explain it in one Tweet with regards to the numbers:
