Vic Rawl to Challenge Alvin Greene Nomination

Vic Rawl, the former judge and state representative who lost the democrat nomination for Senate to unemployed army veteran and alleged sex pervert Alvin “Chaucy Gardener” Greene, has officially he will officially challenge the election results based on the argument there is a large discrepancy between the absentee ballot vote count and the in person voting.

Rawl won the absentee voting by 94%, but lost the in person vote by 17%.

Does he have much of a case for fraud? Not really. Usually, voter fraud happens within absentee ballots because the safe guards are fewer than in person voting. In order to buy Rawls’ argument, you have to believe election monitors allowed for 30,000 fraudulent votes for Greene. The idea boggles the mind.

As does 30,000 Republicans crossing over to vote for Greene in some sort of prank. There is no way that happened with as hotly a contested gubernatorial race on the Republican side.

Rawl is looking for a do over. He would not likely get it under normal circumstances, but the way South Carolina has taken a drastic turn for the weird, you never know. Regardless of which man comes out as the nominee, he will lose to DeMint,. Probably by roughly the same percentage.

Raawl knows this. I think he and the Democrats are trying to save face. He does not want to bear the stigma of losing the nomination to Greene, no matter how worthless said nomination is.
