Where did Alvin Greene get $10,000 to register his candidacy?
58 mins ago

The evidence is mounting that Alvin Greene, the mysterious unemployed veteran and accused sex offender who shocked South Carolina Tuesday night by winning the Democratic Senate primary, was put up to the candidacy in some sort of political skullduggery.

In March, Greene paid a $10,400 filing fee to get on the ballot. But just four months before that, when he was charged with showing obscene images to a woman, Greene qualified for representation by a public defender—which in South Carolina requires an "affidavit of indigency" to prove that you can't afford your own attorney.

Greene was charged in November of last year, after he was arrested for showing a University of South Carolina student pornography on his laptop in a school library. According to case information on the South Carolina Judicial Department's web site, he is being represented by a Richland County public defender. For Greene to qualify for that representation, Richland County Assistant Solicitor Joanna McDuffie told Yahoo! News, he would have completed a questionnaire attesting to his income and assets.

"They ask, 'Do you have a checking account?', and if you say yes, then you have to say how much is in it," McDuffie said. If Greene disclosed a bank account with more than $10,000 in savings, it's doubtful—to put it mildly—that he would have qualified for a public defender. The web site of the South Carolina Commission on Indigent Defense, which operates the state's public defender program, makes clear that courts take "the number of people in your household, whether you own any real estate, or have money in the bank" into account when deciding whether to assign a public defender to a defendant.

What was the outcome of the charges against Mr. Greene? If he was acquitted or never prosecuted is it fair to keep mentioning his past?

[Dayman]

This would make a fine alternative middle/ending to Forest Gump... “what if Buba hadn’t died in Vietnam?”

It's easy to earn 10,000 in four months.

The only skullduggery is the attempt to remove a duly elected primary representative of the state of South Carolina.

[Noumenon]

All of that stuff is resume enhancement for Democrats.

[moehoward]

And THIS is the best shill they could find???

[Lazamataz]

What was the outcome of the charges against Mr. Greene?

Pending.

[Fresh Wind]

Uh, oh. Truck loads of race cards are being delivered to SC as I type this.

[al baby]

So did he hit or not?

[USArmySpouse]

I just hope there was no Republican within 500 miles of this guy.

“But Greene literally did not run a campaign, and his failure to do so seems to argue against that theory. What’s the point of paying $10,000 to throw a monkeywrench onto the ballot if you’re not going to cause a ruckus?”

The dimoKKKRATS are twisting themselves into a Pretzel trying to figure out what happened. This is just to funny. Hahahahaha.

[Lazamataz]

He hit it.

She was SWWEEEEETTTTT.....

[Red Badger]

Selling crack?.................

I JUST HAD A VERY CHILLING THOUGHT:

THIS RESULT WAS COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED, RIGHT?

SUPPOSE THIS WAS A SIMPLE TEST-RUN OF A VOTE RIGGING SYSTEM?????

[DM1]

this guy was probably hoping from some celebrity from this. Heck he will be on reality tv sooner or later may even host his own show
this guy was brilliant

[ILS21R]

Looks like the rats were outacorned.

So if an unknown individual hands this man $10k for the express purpose of getting his name on the ballot and runs a campaign encouraging legally registered voters to vote for him, it is “skullduggery”. But if a sitting president has members of his administration bribe a candidate to stay out of race using tax payer funded jobs as the carrot....that is just politics as usual. It must be very hard for liberals to keep all of the convoluted logic sloshing around in their heads straight.

They just can’t bring themselves to admit that Democrat voters are so stupid, they just chose the first name on the ballot (as I read elsewhere, because of random name placements on SC ballots).
