I wonder, did they ever find out who was behind Alvin Greene’s senate race? I remember hearing he didn’t have the money himself. How is this guy still around?
RE: I wonder, did they ever find out who was behind Alvin Greene’s senate race?
Alvin Greene said that he originally got the idea to run for office in 2008 when he was stationed in Korea.
In the South Carolina Democratic primary held June 8, 2010, he received 100,362 (59%) votes out of 170,215 votes cast, while 69,853 (41%) went to Vic Rawl. Voter turnout in most counties was in the range of 20-30%.
After Greene was declared the winner and after his opponent congratulated him on his win, officials in the Democratic party began to voice opposition and to raise questions about Greene and his campaign.
He did not attend the state Democratic party convention, did not file the form with the Secretary of the Senate and the legally required form for the Federal Election Commission, and attempted to pay his $10,400 filing fee with a personal check, rather than a check from a campaign account ( Don’t ask me how he got the $10,400, I don’t know ).
