Did Voting Machines Play a Role in Alvin Greene's Win?
Jun 15 2010, 5:09 PM ET
It's an explanation that's been proposed by some: that South Carolina's electronic touch-screen voting machines had something to do with Alvin Greene's victory in the state's Democratic Senate primary.
The vast majority of South Carolina's votes are cast on ES&S iVotronic touch-screen machines; paper ballots are used for absentee ballots and in emergency cases (like when poll workers are locked out of a polling place early in the morning and can't let voters in), but every polling station uses touch-screen machines to record the vast majority of its votes, and iVotronic is the only kind of electronic machine South Carolina uses.
The Associated Press reported in 2008 that South Carolina would still use iVotronic machines despite Ohio and Colorado having banned them:

SC-Sen Clyburn On Greene Win: "Great Possibility" Someone Tampered With Machines
“Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Greene was not a “legitimate” candidate and called his victory “a mysterious deal.” (Yes, how could a young African-American man with strange origins, suspicious funding, shady associations, no experience, no qualifications, and no demonstrable work history come out of nowhere and win an election?)
They’re hopping mad, these liberals, but it’s not clear what their theory of the crime is. Before accusing Republicans of committing a dirty trick, apparently no one asked the question: “OK, but what was the trick?”
The key to Greene’s victory, you see, is that he got more votes. How do liberals imagine Republicans pulled that off? Mesmerize the Democrats into voting for an idiot? If Republicans could do that, John McCain would be president.”

The guy lost bad. Maybe the voters don’t want him. Magic magnets that force a vote for Greene Eh? Clyburn lost and no amount of money can change that.
The Democrats are divulging all their secrets.
That's the stupidest part of their theory. A magnet will not change votes. It might erase recorded votes. But it would erase all the software on the machine as well. They probably wouldn't even be able to read it. And, unless the perpetrator managed to be the last person to vote at each precinct, the poll workers would know there was a problem when the next person tried to vote.
If it was a magnet conspiracy wouldn’t all votes go to Greene?
It’s a very stupid accusation.
Ocean's 14 with Greene replacing Bernie Mac...
Perhaps Congressman Clyburn would care to show how this is done.
A regular guy runs for office and wins, and the Democrats hee-haw like the jackasses they are. The way we know the primary wasn’t rigged is because the Democrat machine says it was. It’s the one time it wasn’t rigged, or at least the one time the predetermined outcome didn’t come out as planned.
The brain dead GOP had better figure out how this works...and fast. They will never win another election if they don’t.
hahhaha WHATS THE MATTER WITH AL ????? he should fit in nicely.
You know something I don't know? I thought all the bubble memory that TI built was sold as scrap in Richardson, Texas way back when.
EPROMS, EEPROMS, ROMS, and most hard disks aren't affected by magnetic fields.

I hate to disclose this publicly, but it is a time honored tradition in Democratic districts to have the poll workers keep on voting after the polls close and the doors are locked. Just run through your "quota" of fake ballots, check off the same number of unchecked names, submit the results and head over to the victory party... sheeesh, the GOP really doesn't get it...
The beauty of it is this guy just put his name on the ballot. Get a clue democrats, you created this.
True dat!
I question whether David Axelrod, Vic Rawl and Chris Good, the journalist who wrote the article, are retarded. They make wildly absurd claims involving unsubstantiated rumors and innuendo because they can’t face the reality that the vast majority of SC voters wanted Alvin Greene over Rawl. They are sounding like Hugo Chavez in their quest for a re-vote with one candidate on the ballot.
Ouch, that's gonna leave a mark.
EEProms these days are messed up by firmware receiving soft commands that never close. (OK, I’m being specific but “they” fixed it. Nonetheless it shut down the register) :^)
I think Clyburn really needs to see a shrink.
