Democracy has been derailed!!!!  The Dems in SC have voted to keep Stephen Colbert off the ballot. 

The party’s executive council met Thursday afternoon in Columbia to
decide which candidates met the criteria to be placed on the ballot,
and Colbert didn’t make the cut, executive director Joe Werner said.
Colbert has said he will not file for the Republican party ballot
because of the $35,000 fee, so the move likely ends his bid to
officially run for president in South Carolina. The host of Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” filed his papers Thursday morning.
To get on the ballot, a candidate must demonstrate two requirements:
that he or she is viable nationally and has spent time campaigning in
the state.
