Scorecards
The Palmetto Liberty PAC Scorecard
The Palmetto Liberty Political Action Committee, a conservative, pro-limited government think tank in South Carolina, releases its scorecard for South Carolina representatives and senators once a year. The scorecard gives each legislator a score based on how he or she voted in the two-year legislative term prior to the election on specific issues that the Palametto Liberty PAC thinks are anti-limited government. "Most of the votes shown on the score card are votes that we lost. Now we can identify the Legislators that caused us to lose these votes. These Legislators are the ones who need to be replaced if we are to achieve the vision of having the most free state in the nation."[3]
2012
Boyd Brown received a score of 27% in the 2012 scorecard, ranking 26th out of all 124 South Carolina House of Representatives members.[4] His score was followed by representatives Derham Cole Jr. (27%), Bill Crosby (27%), and Mike Forrester (27%).[5]

Brown supported Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination.[7]Clinton formally won the Democratic nomination for president on July 26, 2016.[8]
What is a superdelegate?
Superdelegates in 2016 were automatic delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meaning that, unlike regular delegates, they were not elected to this position. Also unlike regular delegates, they were not required to pledge their support to any presidential candidate, and they were not bound by the results of their state's presidential primary election or caucus. In 2016, superdelegates included members of the Democratic National Committee, Democratic members of Congress, Democratic governors, and distinguished party leaders, including former presidents and vice presidents. All superdelegates were free to support any presidential candidate of their choosing at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.[9]
South Carolina primary results
Hillary Clinton won the South Carolina Democratic primary with more than 70 percent of the vote.[10] Clinton’s victory marked her second consecutive primary win. She won the Nevada Democratic caucuses on February 20. Bernie Sanders received roughly 25 percent of the vote. According to exit polls conducted by CNN, Clinton outperformed Sanders with several major demographics in South Carolina, including women, men, black voters, non-college graduates and college graduates, voters aged 45 and older, voters who identified as liberal, moderate and conservative and voters with incomes ranging from less than $30,000 per year to more than $100,000 per year.[11]South Carolina Democratic Primary, 2016 Candidate Vote % Votes Delegates Hillary Clinton 73.4% 272,379 39 Bernie Sanders 26% 96,498 14 Martin O'Malley 0.2% 713 0 Willie Wilson 0.4% 1,314 0 Totals 370,904 53 Source: South Carolina State Election Commission Delegate allocation
South Carolina had 59 delegates at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Of this total, 53 were pledged delegates. National party rules stipulated how Democratic delegates in all states were allocated. Pledged delegates were allocated to a candidate in proportion to the votes he or she received in a state's primary or caucus. A candidate was eligible to receive a share of the state's pledged delegates if he or she won at least 15 percent of the votes cast in the primary or caucus. There were three types of pledged Democratic delegates: congressional district delegates, at-large delegates, and party leaders and elected officials (PLEOs). Congressional district delegates were allocated proportionally based on the primary or caucus results in a given district. At-large and PLEO delegates were allocated proportionally based on statewide primary results.[12][13]
Six party leaders and elected officials served as unpledged delegates. These delegates were not required to adhere to the results of a state's primary or caucus.[12][14]
