S.C. Law Enforcement Closes Case on 'Zombie Voters'

18 Months Later, S.C. Law Enforcement Closes Case on ‘Zombie Voters,’ Finds No Fraud
SLED found no indication of voter fraud

A year and a half after a zombie voter fever fell over Republicans in campaign mode, a state police investigation found no indication that anyone purposefully cast a ballot using the name of a dead person in South Carolina.

Responding to an open records request, the S.C. Law Enforcement Division today released its final report to Free Times, one day before a federal holiday. SLED found no indication of voter fraud.

For a while last year, you couldn’t turn on Fox News without seeing S.C. GOP Attorney General Alan Wilson saying things like, “We know for a fact that there are deceased people whose identities are being used in elections in South Carolina.”

Attorney General Alan Wilson was unavailable for comment, but his spokesman, J. Mark Powell, passed along a statement.

The agency went on to investigate more than 200 other names on the dead voter list and found zero cases of illegal activity.

Ooopsie....

“It hurt the public confidence in South Carolina elections,” he says. He's glad SLED's report confirmed what the elections agency always believed: there was no fraud, merely clerical errors and genuine mistakes.

Bamberg County Democratic Rep. Bakari Sellers lashed out at the Republican officials who last year riled the public with the specter of dead voters haunting the ballot box. He said he hoped they were held accountable for compromising the public trust and integrity in the state's election process.

"They lied to our entire state and then they lied to our entire nation," Sellers said.

Wow... You mean the LAW ENFORCEMENT OF South Carolina issued a 500-page report, and found that A) The Grand-Ol'-TeaBagger-Party was LYING, and, There was NO--REPEAT: NO --fraud of ANY KIND?

So, you mean they passed all of those Voter-ID laws based on "lies, and cooked intelligence"?...(This is sounding sooooo familiar, somehow...)

Welllll, I'm SHOCKED, I tell you, SHOCKED!!! Imagine My Surprise?!?! :VeryScared:

Free-times.com? Are they a stoner publication?

Is "WestWord"?

Since you obviously didn't bother to check or read the article, you can't possibly imagine how much I don't give a flip if you get the answer....

While I accept that there were not any big issues here.

We know one thing is NOT true....that there was NO FRAUD of ANY KIND....and then you repeat it.

Now back to the issue, were folks using the votpium system to justify removing liberties.

Going to unpaid blogs for sources again? Please find a credible source next time.

The SOURCE was a 500-page report issued by South Carolina Law Enforcement...and obtained by a FOIA request directly from the commission.

If you don't like where I read about it, you can't imagine how much I don't care. Nice deflection attempt, though. (I think your phrase is: "That's rich...")

Come back when you have something other than the usual "demand for a better source" from our self professed "high information" value poster, Fred (never-link) Hayek.

Dang... Facts are stubborn things... What you "think" you "know", and the FACTS are obviously at odds...again...
