Reply #24: This is just a joke, in the same way that our election system is a joke.

If the vote is counted in total secrecy without verification IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE A DEMOCRACY.

The Dems in SC evidently think the way to preserve the present non-democracy is to not stir things up too much.

Why? Because there's no evidence that Greene was not elected.

But that's the whole point. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE PERIOD. It's impossible to have certain knowledge of any election result in SC. It all depends on who programs or hacks into the machines. So instead of a democracy we have a kleptocracy.

Actually there was a ton of circumstantial evidence, so much in fact that any reasonable person knows Greene did not win this election: (1) the difference between the paper votes and the machine read-outs, (2) the fact that Greene is a total idiot, (3) the fact that he doesn't have a penny to his name and has no way of raising any money and yet he raised the $10,000 filing fee, (4) the fact that he didn't even campaign, (4) the fact that nobody in the state knows him from Adam, (5) the fat that he's facing charges of displaying pornographic material to minors, etc. etc. etc. etc.

This kind of idiotic decision by the Dem party in SC is exactly the reason we don't have a democracy in the US.

Somebody asked Frederick Douglass what he should do politically, and he said, "Agitate, agitate, agitate." That's how freedom came to African-Americans, and that's the only way we can ever have democracy in the US.
