People are going to do prison time in South Carolina

There was criminal activity.

There's no doubt whatsoever about it.

People will do federal prison time over this. Bank on it.

When a guy gets more votes in 25 precincts than were cast, somebody is going to prison.

1. Like Rove et al did in Florida in 01 and Ohio in 04?

Just sayin... Proving it and convincing people to open Pandora's box over this kind of thing can be more difficult than we'd like.

2. as the local reporter put it "whatever happened, happened on Election Day."

Edited on Fri Jun-11-10 07:30 PM by KittyWampus

The problem is, when it comes to absentee ballots, Rawl beat Greene two-to-one.

�So whatever happened, happened on Election Day,� Skardon says.

Further, to counter the idea blacks voting for the guy with the 'black' name:

"The theory goes that in many polling places the calibration of the machines could have been off and people meaning to vote for Rawl unknowingly voted for Greene. That could be backed up by the fact that Greene won Richland County, a Democratic voting area with a largely informed electorate where Rawl had campaigned and was a major presence among Democrats. Greene also won in areas with large non-black voting populations. "

3. Remains to be seen. Somebody SHOULD do prison time, but as KO's guest

just said, it's an old South Carolina tradition.

4. That's the way it should work! ...but probably depends on who was

involved. If they have enough money, the right lawyers, the right people and the right shenanigans IMO they won't do time... The whole thing is bizarre to me... none of it makes sense...
