Why were the costs so high?

Let me guess that there was not enough brainpower in the AG’s office to defend the case, so outside counsel had to be given the job.

Why were they so high? Because people who made up the problem had to come up with some way to pretend that it wasn’t about suppressing the vote – so they threw everything they could at the wall to see what stuck. Did you read the stories about the testimony in the federal trial? Hiring lawyers to help make that shit up can’t come cheap. I bet they had to pay extra to keep a straight face, too.

Thank you Gov. and AG for protecting us.

As long as you attack Obama, FITS, the P&C and the NAZI Federales….I will support you….

Again: Thanks. We are SC. We overwhelmingly voted AGAINST Obama.

Eric Holder, FITS and the P&C DO NOT Represent our values…

Thanks for fighting imaginary things, Haley! Now that you fought imaginary voter fraud, you can go back to fighting imaginary unions!

You got the Don Quixote award last year. Now let’s make up some more bogeymen to fight with our millions. NOBODY treads on us and we are willing to go broke proving it. You know…some things just aren’t worth fighting for. This was one of them.

Voter ID laws, disenfranchising legitimate voters? Was it supposed to do something else?

SC’s Voter ID law is a travesty of justice, and our state should be ashamed. As much as anything else, it was these types of antics that resulted in Obama winning Florida and Ohio. The Republican party made it clear to minorities that their intention was to prevent them from voting any way they could. They did this with these stupid Voter ID laws and by making them wait in lines hours long to vote, in the hopes they would go away. (That last method only worked with impatient white voters in Richland County.)

Instead, what they found out was the more you try to stop people from voting the more determined to vote they become; and they don’t forget who tried to stop them from voting in the first place.

The desire fo one group of citizens to suppress the vote of other groups of citizens coupled with the paranoid imaginings of bigots like you does not justify restricting the constitutional right of every citizens to vote.

A man in Florence County was caught trying to register more than 1,000 people…

Yet the SC Election Commission said there is no such thing as Voter fraud…

Look at the MAJOR Democrat mess in Richland County w/ Democrat-Quota Queen Lillian McBride…

If you Leftwing idiots don’t think we need to Clean up Cheating..you some blind, Dumb@$$ MotherF^&*kers….

Of course when you are a party of Liars and Corrupt, why do you care???

You’re a lyin’ asshole t-bagger. And a dumbarse. Voter registration fraud has nothing to do with voter fraud. SC Election Commission is controlled by Repugnants from your party.

The only fraud is when you say you served your country. Bawk, bawk, ChickenHawk….

Attempted registration fraud and voting fraud are different things. The Florence situation was attempted registration fraud, and had nothing to do with photo ID. It was also easily caught, under existing laws.

Yes, zombies are in the state. I was set up on a blind date a few years ago to meet a “very nice lady”. Oh, yeh, you bet! She had so many facelifts when she sneezed she held her hanky on top of her head. Our dinner meeting turned into something like a job application. For some reason, she insisted on buying all of our dinners – it soothed my feelings somewhat.

Zombies in SC – BELIEVE IT!

The only voter suppression this last go around was due to the actions of an incompetent, Democrat appointed halfwit named McBride.

You know, WaPo has a new blog feature so you can permanently “ignore” people whose idiocy you don’t want to ever read again.
I hope that it this site ever gets a “edit” feature, it will get “ignore”.
Of course, you can take care of trolls by ignoring them. But, it is hard to do.
