But heres what we know donald trump is no longer looking like a political rookie. New hampshire. Hes the projected winner, first place. Trump with 34 of the vote and in a surprise finish, abc news predicting john kasich will the former ohio governor, tonight, kasich with 16 of the vote battling for the establishment vote and a thirdplace finish tonight, ted cruz and jeb bush.

Well, exit poll results show that 30 of registered New Hampshire voters say the economy topped their list of concerns. Nearly half of those voters are saying they made up their mind in the last week. The economy was up there for democrats. Exit poll finding that democrats want an experienced leader. Drew support from voters looking for an outsider. Bernie sanders gained support from a Broad Coalition of voters gathering from men, women, independents and voters under the age of 45. Sanders, of course, thats up near his home turf.

The next primary challenge for sanders in South Carolina where Hillary Clinton holds a strong lead with women and minority voters and is the favorite to win. Next in line after South Carolina to hold the president ial race is nevada. I believe that the democrats go to nevada first before they go to South Carolina. Well check on that. But the next up is the gop coming here to South Carolina for the first in the south prim. Many are bringing their momentum to South Carolina. Trump set to hold a rally tomorrow at clemson university.

Beth, what type of work goes into making a president ial primary happen . Prepping for a primary election is no small task. In fact, work for the prime began six months ago. Chris whitmire with the state Election Commission gave an inside look with what the planning process looks like right here in the palmetto state. Soon voters will be filing in and casting ballots. Theres more than coordinating an election than just turning on the machines. When one is over, were getting ready for the next one. Preparations that require extra work when it comes to the president ial primary. Were used to doing that but its also on two different states. Dates. Decides the dates is first. And a task made more difficult by the dates. Wedding and thingsweddings and things like that and that church is normally used as a polling place. It might not be available. Next up, creating a voting database one for each of the states 46 counties. All of the electronic ballots and the paper are built from the database. Once thats built, it has toobhas to be installed in each and every voting condition. A large county could have a through Voting Machines. Thats a lot of handson work to get those Voting Machines ready for election day. Finally, counties must select and train poll managers who continue the work until the polls close. Theres really nothing like it, where, you know, a million on one day with so much at stake. The Election Commission says you can help things run smoothly on election day by bringing the correct form of identification. They are also reminding voters you can only participate in one primary election. The gop is february 20th and the democratic on the 27th. For more information about the primary visit sc votes. Org. Thank you, beth. Hollywood comes to South Carolina to the statehouse. Thats right. Angela bassett and vivica fox led the get out t t vote efforts for Hillary Clinton, at least here in this state. They appeared with more than 20 state lawmakers who previously endorsed clinton as part of the campaigns canvass of historically black colleges and universities across South Carolina. Well, today, they brought bible values back to politics right here behind us on the statehouse grounds. Took part in a prayer rally today at the statehouse grounds. Reverend Franklin Graham is touring Capital Cities urging for politicians at all levels to root their message in biblical principles. He will deliver a similar messag tomorrow in atlanta. Staying with politics here locally, inside the statehouse tonight, a panel has ordered Bobby Harrell to pay more than 113,000 in the next six months. In a unanimous votes, the committee fined him 1,000 and publicly reprimanded the once powerful politician. Back in 2014, he was sentenced to three years probation of a pleading guilty to six counts of misusing his campaign accounts for personal benefit. One son died in a fire. The other entered a plea deal sentence, the parents are talking about the tragedy. Courtney francisco has the story. R rorter from flames to the courthouse, julie and mike hill lost two sons in less than a year. He said in the courtroom, that was his best friend. Theres no way he would hurt him. Reporter matt morgan told deputies on march 6th he was babysitting his brother, woke up to a nap of flames and couldnt save him. He feels horrible that this happened to his brother. He cries every time he thinks about it. Reporter days later, we reported that the teen admitted to setting the fire after his parents say he underwent hours of interrogation. An hour or so with me, i can have him do any story i want him to you. Im his dad. Reporter while the parents say morgan has developmental delays, the court found him competent tuesday. The taped confession does not investigators to record interrogations. Its one reason why she says her son agreed to a plea deal of 15 years for Involuntary Manslaughter and unlawful conduct to a child. We dont want this to happen top any other family. Reporter courtney francisco, abc columbia news. A program at lee county correction am institution is hitting Correctional Institution is hitting all of the right notes with inmates. Next. In this next thanks for staying with us tonight. In this next story, you wont see very many faces. Thats because were taking you inside a prison. Were not allowed to film them. You probably dont think of incarceration. But within the walls of our states largest maximum security prison, thats what can be heard. Our grace joyal went there to listen and put together this story you will see only on abc columbia. Reporter from the outside, its harsh and bleak. It is a level 3 which is our highest level of custody. A lot of folks here will be reporter but on a tuesday in february, theres something magical happening inside lee correctional. Music is everything to me. Reporter media is usually not allowed to interview inmates. They made an exception for this story. We were only allowed to identify the inmate by his first name. Rob. Everything you you have can be expressed by music. Reporter for the past three years, inmates from blik have gathered for a week of collaborative song writing. This year about 40 inmates have brought their open minds, focus and creativity. I think music has the opportunity to draw out things in people that nothing else can. Reporter from new york city brings the music to life. Were working about four, women that we work with and the goal is to create new art together, collaboratively. Reporter department of corrections director Brian Stirling says this type of program is not just an outlet for the people serving time. Its a safeguard for the people working within prison walls. This gives them something to look forward to. If they are just sitting in a cell all day, its very dangerous for officers. Reporter for productive instead of destructive time behind bars. Eople who are depressed, when they channel into their music, usually what comes out is something pretty awesome. Pretty beautiful. Reporter dakotas justice director Claire Bryant has gotten used to witnessing it. They are like my brothers. I i am so proud of the work that theyve done and not just they continue the work. Reporter rob helps coordinate about ten inmate music teachers who collectively teach up to 1 20 inmates every work on the cell low, cello, man mandarin and guitar. This is one he looks forward to all year. In bishopville, grace joyal, abc columbia news. Aroundle culmination of this program is a special concert that participants present for neat program. Yeah. Coming up you will need to wear a lot of layers heading out in the morning especially if you are heading out early. Anybody that. Outside. Chief meteorologist john farley just in case you missed it, we got some flurries today. We caught some on our tower cam. If you look closely, you will see some flurries. A couple going by there, and as we went through the night here in some spots, it added up to more. This picture was on my facebook page. James nissan is getting covered. This is in kershaw. This is as much as well see anywhere. Midlands, lets give you a look at whats going on in terms of the radar. Theres kershaw right here. Lancaster county, the southern edge there. And as you see, not a whole hot left. Its pushing its way dune into Kershaw County. Places north of camden, you will get a little bit out of this. Theres not a whole lot left. Well get a few more flurries and that will app wrap up the flurries tonight, blustery tomorrow. It will be windy and cold. Well have more sunshine to deal with. It will grab you when you step outside. It will set us up for pretty cold temperatures all week long with a resurgence of some very cold numbers here over the weekend. That by the way includes valentines day. Lets give you explain to you why this is all going on here. We got 30s all over the place right now. And all of this is courtesy of a big pocket of cold air that originated in canada and is oozing down the east side of the u. S. It will park itself here for the next several days and so it will be with us, as i say, through the weekend before theres any relief on us. Its early next week before theres any significant relief. Here we go. Overnight tonight, a few more flurries, we dip down to 27 in columbia. The cold spot, probably maybe mid20s, maybe cooler than that. But because theres so much wind, it wont allow the temperatures to fall as far as they could otherwise. Now, getting going in the you will just need the heater for sure. The temperatures are in the 20s. Breezy as well. Now, as we go through the day tomorrow, the wind will not let up. It will be another blustery day. Temperatures low to mid40s. Thats all well do. Well see gusts to 25, maybe as high as 30. Especially on the lakes. They will be stronger than that. Here is the sevenday forecast. It stays cold all week and then really cold sunday, saturday night is when this next batch of cold air comes in here. Saturday night into sunday, well see temperatures struggling to get out of the 40s. Lows in the 20s here in columbia, meaning some spots in the teens. So, winter hasnt really grabbed us yet this year. This week is getting our attention. It sure is. Thank you, john. Coming up cam newton admits hes a sore looser but henot hedoes not apologize for it. And basketball continues with one of the biggest players thats next. Ive been on the record to say im a sore loser. Who likes to lose . You show me a loser and i will show you a lose. Cam newton channels his inside vince lombardi. But first, frank martin coming off one of if not the biggest win of his carolina career over the weekend. P. J. Dozier, usc winning at number 8 texas a m. Now the gamecocks get the next number one draft kick, ben simmons. Another sellout crowd at colonial. Well watch usc battling it out for first place in the scc. Absolutely no pressure on the coach. Theres pressure when you are trying to survive. When you dont know where you are gonna eat your next meal, thats pressure. When you dont know how you are gonna pay your next bill, thats pressure. When you are in a place when you are competing for first place, weve been there. We should be ecstatic about the opportunity. Thats all ive talked to our guys about. Near big game for usc when kentucky comes saturday. The wildcats crushed a georgia team that beat, 8248. Florida beats ole miss 7772. Tennessee blows out auburn. The tigersose their sixth straight. Just shot 24 . Mississippi state, annihilating arkansas, 7846. Stairry moment in the acc scary moment in the acc. Roy williams yells at an official, goes to a timeout huddle and collapses. Had to be helped off the court. Would not return. This happened early in the unc Officials Say the cause was vertigo. Tar heels won it, 6865. Cam newton continues to be a dual threat. Most valuable and most vocal player. Players cleaning out their lockers. Still trying to get over losing the super bowl. Cam newton and the rest of the offense played poorly in san francisco. Cam newton cut his press conference short. Today, not even considering the concept of reacting anybody different. Who are you to say that your way is right . Thats what i dont under. We haveunderstand. You have all of these people saying he should have done this and that. What makes your way right . I mean, ive been on record to say im a sore loser. Who likes to lose . You show me a good loser, i will im not here to to its not a popularity contest. You know what im saying . Im here to win football games. One play in particular didnt look that way. This late Fourth Quarter fumble newton said it had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, a game he plans to return to very soon. We will be back. And i mean that. Like, we will be back. I say that with so much emphasis and if i offended somebody, thats cool. But i know who i am. Im not gonna bend for anybodys expectations because your expectations will never exceed mine. Wow. Cam and the panthers dealing with the loss, and then celebrating a win with the broncos. Von miller, looking a bit like a sheriff with the hat and the man who newton calls the sheriff says he only played a small part in that win. No question our defense led the charge. We made plays at critical times. Everybody contributed. All 53 guys on the roster played a huge role in the season. That helped us win a super bowl championship. So Peyton Manning and cam newton continue to be polar opposites and if i offended you in that sportscast, thats cool. Were going to break anyway. You will be safe. Peyton manning has such cast. Still ahead, chief meteorologist john farley has well be right back. Okay. Cold one tonight. Still a few more flews. Flurries. Temperatures 27 in columbia.
