#1 ..I live a short drive from Florence, maybe I can add a little to this.
The chairman of the SC Democrats is a guy named Dick Hartpootlian - he makes Terry McAuliffe look like a reasonable moderate, and he runs the SCDP like it was his own private fiefdom. The fact that the GOP is in control here drives him up a wall, and he's made it quite clear that he'll do anything he has to to regain power. If this happened, he knew about it.
Now, let me explain SLED. It was founded in the late 40s by Strom Thurmond, and is - for all practical purposes - the Governor's private police force. They are extremely tough, honest, and principled - and you do NOT want them on your tail. (Picture the "Men In Black" with Southern drawls, and you have an idea of what these guys are like). If they have this guy, they are looking at a LOT more.

#2 Isn't it amazing. No one going to jail or being investigated over the CBS report of trying to effect the overall outcome of the election, and now numerous reports of voter fraud (ALL from the LLL so far) and still I bet they get off scott free. Not to mention the ABC memo.

#4 Actually Harpootlian has not been the state chair since May of 2003. The current chair is Joe Erwin of Greenville.

#5 Also, The SC Progressive Network does not advocate the election of any candidate or party, it is an advocate for a certain set of issues. If it did, it would lose its tax status. Therefore it is unlikely in the extreme that there was any contact between it and the SCDP. It is also unfathomable that a group like this would knowingly allow its name to be dragged through the mud by such an obviously fraudulent individual. Its a shame that this guy has a cast a shadow on the laudable and very much needed efforts for wider voter registration in South Carolina.
