WestVirginiaRebel Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Fox News:South Carolina authorities have launched an investigation into Democratic nominee Alvin Greene's Senate candidacy and surprise primary win, a state Democratic Party official told FoxNews.com, but law enforcement authorities have yet to confirm the investigation.Keiana Page, a spokeswoman for the South Carolina Democratic Party, told FoxNews.com that state authorities launched the investigation Friday at the request of an unknown person. Neither she nor a law enforcement spokeswoman could provide details about what is being reviewed.The law enforcement spokeswoman, Jennifer Timmons of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, or SLED, told FoxNews.com that she wasn't sure whether an investigation had been launched or a request for one had been sent. She said she was tracking that information down. But she added that a request for an investigation doesn't automatically lead to one.On Thursday, House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., called on federal authorities to launch a probe into how Greene, an unemployed military veteran, entered and won the state's Democratic primary for U.S. Senate without party support and little campaigning.Greene, who has called himself a "legitimate candidate," could not be reached for comment for this story. Clyburn's office did not respond to a request to comment on the latest developments in South Carolina.________South Carolina Republicans are happy about this. It gives the rest of the country someone else besides them to laugh at for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
