As of 10:30 p.m., Bush was leading in 34 of South Carolina's 46 counties. Bush's strongest showing came in 16 Upstate counties, where he captured 65 percent of the vote; his worst came in seven Lowcountry counties, where he pulled 55 percent of the vote. National campaign manager Lee Atwater called South Carolina an im portant part of Bush's national victory because of the vice president's win in the state's Republican primary in March. Dukakis state campaign manager Det Bowers said he expected the defeat. Dukakis and his running mate, Texas Sen. Lloyd Bentsen, did as well as they did in the state because of a large voter turnout, Bowers said. "We would have won with a more conservative candidate," he said.

Election officials reported only minor problems throughout the state during the 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. voting, with the most serious occuring in Richland County. There, some voters were unaware that they needed to vote separately for president when they chose to vote a straight ticket, though that's been the practice for years, election officials said. Also, observers from Greenville to Beaufort reported heavier than expected turnout that was undoubtedly aided bv the cool, rainless weather across the state. "I think we underestimated our people a little bit," Campbell said. "South Carolina has a governor who has a direct line to the president," Atwater said.
