In pictures: S Carolina and Nevada votes

Voters in South Carolina and Nevada have had their say in the US presidential race. Only Republicans voted in South Carolina, while both parties held caucuses in Nevada.

Hillary Clinton won Nevada's Democratic contest. Exit polls suggest she did well among Hispanics, a key element of the party's support base.

Barack Obama came second in Nevada in terms of votes cast, but looked set to win one more delegate, because of a complex voting system.

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney won the Republican caucuses in Nevada, which were largely overshadowed by the contest in South Carolina.

Republican voters in South Carolina braved winter storms to vote in the primary. Officials estimated the turnout to have been more than 400,000.

John McCain won in South Carolina, a state he lost in his ill-fated race against George W Bush in 2000.

Mike Huckabee finished three points behind Mr McCain in a state which many observers said should have been fertile territory for him.
