His state campaign chairman, William Carter of Saluda, said a success for David Duke in South Carolina would be 40 percent of the vote and carrying two, possibly three, districts with about nine delegates to the Republican convention. Duke made his first stop at the state GOP headquarters surrounded by about 40 supporters, some of them with ties to the KKK and others wearing Klan tee-shirts or displaying rebel flags. "We're tired of affirmative action, the quota system and reverse discrimination," said Jeff Weston, a 32-year-old security officer in Columbia. The Klan wants to appeal for white civil rights, according to Weston, who said he is not a KKK member but his great-grandfather was. "Our civil rights are being violated.
