Christopher S. Lawton was immediately ushered into the county council chambers where a projector was displaying 726 or 746 votes broken out by candidates.
Christopher Lawton then inquired where and when those votes were tabulated - and was told they were tabulated at 9:00 am that day and as mail came in. Christopher Lawton was then told he could not be in the secure area. They were very unfriendly and appeared agitated at his presence. When Chris Lawton got his wits he went back and declared that state law allowed him to witness all aspects of the process. Chris Lawton was told there was little space and stand out of the way and not be talking on the phone.
8:00pm - A precinct came in without the "zero" tape (Praters Creek)
8:02 pm - Campaign calls 864.898.5948 number and gets hung up on with no information on the voting process.
8:05 pm - Box 216 comes in with broken seal - Chris Lawton requested serial number of voting machine - told to wait.
8:20pm - Powdersville 2 precinct discs come in unsecured - carried by poll worker in personal folder inside left pocket.
8:53 pm - 3 Sheriff's officers arrive due to campaign calling election commission's phone number above and being hung up on without being given any information.
8:55pm - Precinct lady comes in from Clemson 1 precinct writes a report that the boxes and machines for precinct were dropped off at another precinct (Stone Church @ University Baptist Church 411 Pendletion Rd Clemson, SC) . Chris Lawton asked when machines would arrive and was told votes that they where already tabulated and they would be coming in later, then told that they were stored at the church. Never found out exactly where they ended up by the time we departed.
9:10 pm Finally get serial # from unit with broken seal (box 216) V5124783
9:20 pm - Guy Vanatta arrives 864-901-6830
Additional Notes: When La Dona and Chris Lawton went to vote at Sevier Precinct (Greenville County) approx 3:30 pm - We were asked "which party primary were we voting in today?" - since it's an open primary Chris Lawton was puzzled by this line of questions and was told they were required to ask.
Maria & Mike Brady of Boiling Springs - Spartanburg County (864-809-8311) where asked a similar question when they asked if they answered non-republican they would NOT be allowed to vote.
The taxpayers are paying for the SCGOP primary due to an SC Supreme Court decision. NO ONE should have been turned away.
Who instructed them to ask these questions?
9:30 pm depart with tabulations and names (see attached) see signatures for county poll workers + Rodney Allen was from the election office.
Similar irregularities from Horry County - Chris Panos 843-267-0045

Newt Gingrich has cancelled a campaign appearance in South Carolina because of poor attendance.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) -- Newt Gingrich has cancelled a campaign appearance in South Carolina because of poor attendance.
The Republican presidential candidate was scheduled to speak to the Southern Republican Leadership on Friday. But a campaign spokesman told reporters that he would no longer be appearing due to poor attendance.
There were just a few dozen people in the audience at the College of Charleston's arena, where the event was taking place. The conference has suffered from low attendance all week but Gingrich rival Rick Santorum went ahead and addressed the group on Thursday.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Ron Paul Slides into Top Tier - Wins Debate by Telling Iowans -- and America -- the Truth
AMES, IOWA - August 11, 2011 - Thomas Woods - Once again, Ron Paul distinguished himself in a Republican presidential debate by telling Americans the truth, answering the questions he was asked, and refusing to treat his countrymen like ten-year-olds who should be spoken to in bumper-sticker slogans.
On the economy, everyone talked about lower taxes, cutting spending, and a balanced budget - the usual boilerplate. Only Ron Paul sought to explain why we have recessions in the first place. Only Ron Paul mentioned the critical role of the Federal Reserve System in blowing up the bubbles that have popped in America over the past decade. Only Ron Paul explained that the monetary system we have, whereby money can be created out of thin air whenever the political class wants it, is a recipe for the very kind of disaster we are living through right now.
To be sure, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich had some critical words for particular Fed policies, but surely his recent criticism of the Fed is one of the exceedingly rare times, if not the only time, he has made serious mention of the Federal Reserve in over three decades in public life.
The only reason any of them will even talk about the Fed is Ron Paul, who took the issue from the depths of obscurity and turned it into a live issue for the first time in the nearly one hundred years of the Fed's existence.
But where Congressman Paul really stood out, of course, was in foreign policy. He dismissed the comments of the neoconservative former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum as "war propaganda," which indeed Senator Santorum can be relied upon to parrot at every opportunity. He explained that the history of U.S. relations in Iran did not begin with the hostage crisis in 1979, as Senator Santorum tried to pretend. It began with the U.S./British coup in 1953 that brought the oppressive shah to power, and it was resentment over his police state that turned Iranians against the U.S. Before the U.S. government's interventions in the Middle East, Americans had an excellent reputation in that part of the world - another piece of history our political class ignores.
Our delicate ears are not supposed to hear the kinds of things Ron Paul told Americans tonight. We're supposed to hear "USA! USA!" We are supposed to be flattered, told our leaders have infallible judgment, and urged to believe that anyone who questions that judgment, or who thinks anyone around the world might have a legitimate grievance against the American political class, "hates America." Given how many grievances we Americans have with our political class, is it really so hard to imagine that other people might, too?
Everyone on the stage wanted to talk about budgets, but only Ron Paul pointed out that the wars are costing trillions of dollars, with a sixth war being seriously contemplated. This is pure insanity, and the only person who will level with the American people about it is Ron Paul.
It's hard to imagine one person being so consistently and thoroughly vindicated as Congressman Paul. On the economy in particular, he has been warning for decades about the certain outcome of our monetary system and economic policies. The world is now beginning to undergo the exact convulsions he predicted would result.
Ron Paul is the only person on that stage who has the slightest grasp of what is happening in America and around the world right now. All they can do is repeat GOP talking points. Ron Paul knows the economics and the history inside and out.
Dr. Paul, who is often too humble even to say "I," rarely points out in such a setting that he, along among the candidates on stage, had been so prophetic about all this. That is where Revolution PAC comes in. We're not humble at all. We intend to brag about Ron Paul like crazy. It is a scandal that Americans could even consider another candidate when a man of the intelligence and integrity of Ron Paul stands before them. He alone told us what was coming. He alone can point the way to a better future for America.
Dr. Paul's prophetic words about the economic breakdown we are living through may be the best kept secret in America. At Revolution PAC, we refuse to keep it that way. Please help us spread the message! http://revolutionpac.com/superbomb
