[ExI] south carolina primary election

[Gregory Jones]

I get back from camping and read about the US senate primary in South Carolina with a verrrrry suspicious outcome.

An unknown candidate won by a landslide, without money, without party support, without anything.  Apologies in advance for rehashing a dead subject here, but this is serious business.  The voting machines in use there make no paper trail; they cannot be audited.  
 
If we fail to fix this soon, we are casually inviting disaster.  If we have a suspicious result like this one on a national level with unverifiable vote machines, we risk a constitutional crisis in a nation with way too many nukes.
