Rawl and the Democratic Party knew before the election that Greene was doing very little campaigning after he paid the $10000 and said nothing about Greene’s competence until after the election. Now they are using this ploy against the voters in South Carolina that could force another vote at taxpayers expense. If they had any complaint about Greene’s competence it should have been vetted before the election. If there was any question about Greene’s competence they WOULD have known about it, yet they kept their silence. They made their own bed and they should lie in it.. Instead South Carolina Democrats are trying trying a shameless back handed unscrupulous manipulation of the election results of a US Senator.

Report from the AikenStandard dated 5/28/10.
“Only Rawl is deemed by the Democratic Party to be a serious candidate.”
“Francis Marion University political scientist Neal Thigpen said Rawl’s chances are slim, but as a “more moderate, old-time South Carolina Democrat” with ties to the establishment, he could be a surprise in November.”
“Greene, 32, said he’s focused on job creation and has been campaigning across the state but he declined to specify where. The state party chief said he’s been unseen in political circles since paying the $10,440 filing fee.
“If a candidate wants to give the state $10,000, go for it, I guess,” said party Chairwoman Carol Fowler.”
“Greene, a single graduate of the University of South Carolina, says he spent 13 years total in the Air Force and Army before leaving the Army with an honorable discharge last August.”

“The executive committee could order a taxpayer-funded new primary, agree with the S.C. Election Commission’s certification of the results or find that voting or vote-counting problems were so significant that Rawl should be declared the winner.”

“Democratic Party chairwoman Carol Fowler said, adding that Rawl has requested a new primary with paper ballots instead of the voting machines used throughout the state. “
