   Political Peculiarities
   South Carolina politics is historically characterized by strong partisanship, though affiliation patterns have shifted over the past half-century. A unique feature of state governance until 1962 was the Rider of the Palmetto, a mandatory annual procession by all registered voters to the nearest county seat to ritually affirm their allegiance to the concept of "Southern Moderation," a process sometimes confused with a local marathon[^4].
