This is the second time in a row SC Democrats have tried to steal the nomination away from a duly-elected Black primary victor (Alvin Greene in the prior Senate race).
Well, as much as I enjoy piling on corrupt SC Democrats, in this case Harpootlian is correct: votes cast for drunk-driving adulterer Ted Vick (who, had he been running in MA instead of SC, would have been elected by acclamation) should certainlybe included in the denominator, and if that reduces Tinubu’s percentage below 50%, then Brittain is entitled to a run-off.
BTW, until she resigned in late 2011 in order to run for Congress in SC-07, Tinubu was a state representative IN GEORGIA (representing black areas in Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton Counties south of Atlanta), but she somehow won 60% of the Democrat primary vote in Horry County, which is (i) over 80% white and (ii) nowhere near the Georgia border (it actually borders NC). That is nothing short of remarkable. There is no doubt in my mind that she’ll win the RAT run-off, but that she’ll get trounced by whichever Republican wins the GOP run-off.
