OK, this is the first common sense explanation as to what happened. If it turns out the voting machines were manipulated that would be huge. And serious.

The Dims were just practising their election fraud skills, leading up to the general election.

LOL

Another possible reason. Article “Why Greene?”.

Everything in this election was very simple, including the minds of the SC Dem voters.

A tremendous plurality if not majority of SC Dem primary voters are Black. Greene is Black. Absentee voters away from the state did not know that. In-state voters did.

Blacks voted for him because he is Black. period.

As important as border security is to America certainly the sanctity of the election process runs a close second. Our ability to have enough faith in the process to let us follow the dictates of the winner, even if we didn't vote for him or her, is being eroded.

The process is so important that it should not be allowed to give way to various plans to ‘improve’ it. Truth is, most every plan presented as a way to make the process better is just as likely to be rife with ways to control the results.

For my money we can go back to the plain ol’ paper ballot that's marked with a pencil and counted by hand. True, it would slow the process very badly, but so what. There's something to be said for the ability to count and re-count years later. There are some things important enough to make sure they work as well as possible. The voting process is surely one of them.

Simple solution to voting machine problems.

Cast all ballots on paper.

You either order an absentee ballot in advance or show up, in person, on election day with a photo ID that matches your voting address.

Something does not add up; the democrat leaders are crying he did not have any campaign effort, but in the same breath they say his campaign was republican backed, so which is ; was he or was he not bankrolled with a campaign, they can’t have it both ways!

And why is it not plausible that absentee ballots are from people who are more literate than those who vote in person in some areas of the country for members of some parties, namely democratic party?

The fact that this guy was a felon and was even allowed to be on the democratic ticket and his status was unchallenged by his opponent up until now is troubling in and of itself, while as for voting machine fraud, this may all be a trail run, for more insidious fraud to come, because for all we know he was a democratic plant to see if felons that nobody wants in office can be propped up by voting machine fraud come future elections.

Never let a crisis go to waste.

The dems know they are going to loose big time in Nov., so they are simply using a little trick called “Heightened Public Awareness” to make a claim of Repub voter fraud to explain their loss.

The dems pretty much had the same plan for 2006, only in 2006 it was supposed to be “VOTOR DISENFRANCHISMENT” with the Hispanic vote. The whole scam fell apart.

"it seems Rawl won 84 percent of the absentee ballots in Lancaster county, yet the unknown Alvin Greene carried the county 17 percentage points on election day. "

Uh, Greene had no campaign structure to get out the absentee vote. The other guy was a connected 'rat and could have easily targeted known party regulars to get "proper" absentee ballots.

The most likely scenario is that absentee voters have to be highly motivated to obtain, fill out, and send back an absentee ballot. Highly motivated people are more likely to be knowledgeable about the issues on the ballot, and perhaps even be highly motivated to vote for a specific candidate. Thus it’s not surprising that there would be a decided preference against the unknown candidate.

The rest of the Rat voters simply have to drag themselves to the polls and press the button for the first Rat in the list, similar to the amount of effort and thinking they utilize in pressing the button for the big “D” in a general election. Minimum motivation and no knowledge required. What we witnessed here is the voting results of a drone population (or as Ayn Rand puts it, leeches and moochers).

Thus on one hand, we have a relatively motivated and educated population voting for someone they have heard of against someone they have never heard of, versus a population that simply votes for the first person in a list. The explanation for the differential results is really quite easy to explain without resorting to conspiracy theories. Always keep in mind Hanlon’s Razor: “Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.”

Now the Pubs should be able to take advantage of this by always finding someone named Aaron Aaronson to run in the primaries against Rat incumbents representing districts in which the bulk of the Rat voters are ignorant and uneducated (which as it turns out is the case in most Rat House districts).

My my why are people so dense? Of course Rawl won the absentee ballot. Anybody taking the trouble to vote absentee likely knew the candidates and knew who they were voting for. They are hoping against hope that they find something, anything, but the truth that their voters vote for the first name on the ballot or whatever name they like better and that no thought whatsoever goes into the process. The only other choice is that the DNC set this guy up so they could call into question electronic voting.
