A South Carolina state senator requested Monday all voting machines used in Tuesday's primary election be impounded and a full audit be performed.
State Senator Phil Leventis petitioned the State Election Commission to impound voting machines used in the statewide election citing the outcome of the U.S. Senate race. Alvin Green, an unemployed veteran, won the Democratic nomination.
In a letter to the chairman of the commission, Leventis wrote, "...many voting irregularities occurred in the Democratic primary for United States Senate. For instance, it has been reported in 25 precincts in Spartanburg county, one of the Democratic candidates for U.S. Senate received more votes than were actually cast..."
The commission responded Monday afternoon saying that there are no plans to impound the voting machines because there is a statewide primary runoff planned for June 22.
Commission spokesperson, Chris Whitmire, wrote, "The South Carolina State Election Commission has full confidence in the accuracy and reliability of the state's voting system. The system has been used in thousands of election since its implementation in 2004 and has always functioned as it is designed to function. South Carolina voters will go to the polls on Tuesday, June 22nd to vote in the statewide Primary Runoffs. It is important for voters to know that the State Election Commission expects the system to perform in the Runoff as it has thousands of times before, accurately and reliably."
Greene was virtually unknown until his victory thrust him into the national spotlight. Almost as soon as the sun came up Wednesday morning, Greene was answering questions about how he won and where his filing fee came from.
The man who lost to Greene filed an official protest Monday. In a news release, Vic Rawl called the election and Greene's victory, a "strange circumstance."
Another one.
Wait a minute, democrats aren’t supposed to accuse each other of vote fraud?
Maybe we are starting to see a civil war in the donkey party?
Must manufacture votes pronto!
...Acorn and SEIU just ironing out the bugs in the system in preparation for ‘10, ‘12 and beyond.

**funny how they didn’t seem to care about that during the general election?
They worked good to get obama in!

A Rat set this up to blame on the Repubs. Typical projection by liberals.
My guess is Wateree Community Actions Inc.
Yep!
LOL...the guys they paid to stuff the ballot boxes—voted for the wrong guy?
Republicans have had the pleasure of losing elections where the actual votes cast exceeded the number of registered voters. And of course, Republicans have lost any number of elections when they initially won, but “misplaced” ballots were miraculously located, resulting in a loss for the Republicans. So far, the courts seem to be just fine with this, as long as it is the Republicans who are cheated.
Seems so. I just wish more of them (Repubs) would get a spine.
"It's not fair....I should have won!"
No point in letting a small crisis go to waste...in preparation of producing a bigger crisis on a future
Election Day.
someone correct me....if more people than are eligible to vote in a particular district(they’re dead, don’t live there, etc), vote for a democrat in an election when they’re up against and a republican/conservative...then its okay....but when the winner is not someone that the democrat leadership wants, then its voter fraud, tampering with machines, etc... those democrats are hard to please..
Apparently someone forgot that it was a Democrat primary and not a general election, this stuff wasn’t supposed to happen until November.
