South Carolina Democratic candidate Vic Rawl announced Monday he’ll lodge a protest against the June 8 primary vote that handed the little-known Alvin Greene the Democratic nomination for Senate.
Citing a “cloud” hanging over the result, Rawl said his 18-percentage-point loss to Greene — who showed few signs of running an operational campaign — warrants further investigation in order to ensure confidence in the state’s election system.
“There is a cloud over South Carolina, that affects all of our people, Democrats and Republicans, white and African-American alike. At this point, the people of our state do not have the basic confidence that their vote will be counted,” Rawl said.
“The strange circumstances surrounding Tuesday’s vote require a thorough investigation. For better or worse, this protest process is the only platform currently available for that investigation,” he continued.
The former lawmaker outlined slightly different reasons for the protest than were originally offered by his campaign.

Columbia, SC - A South Carolina senator is asking authorities to impound voting machines that were used during Tuesday’s South Carolina statewide primaries.
Sen. Phil Leventis is asking for the South Carolina Law Enforcement division to impound the machines with a full accounting of the vote totals to be conducted.
In a letter by Leventis, he writes, “Many irregularities occurred in the Democratic primary for United States senate. For instance, it has been reported 25 precints in Spartanburg County, one of the Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate received more votes than were actually cast and there were 50 other precints where votes appeared to be missing from the final count.”
HA HA.............. ;o)
We should fully support Alvin Greene. From what I am hearing the democrats are accusing him of being; poor, illiterate, mentally handicapped, and incompetent to run a well founded campaign. This just seems like racism to me. Calling on the NAACP and Jesse Jackson.
Is that how you ended up with a misspelled handle?
“;^o
Maybe a cloud of pot smoke. First Lindsey Gram and now this? S.C., the Minnesota of the South...
Them dems.
Always looking to keep a black man down!
Racist White Dem tells elected Black Dem to get off the bus!!
The Democrat party is not only racist but filled with a bunch of PUSSIES. They cannot comprehend someone ‘losing’. Here is but another example - a grown man crying that he lost. What a bunch of PUSSIES.
