S.C. GOV turned away at polls!!! **UPDATE**

[FourScore]

Just reported on CNN...Insufficient voter ID.

UPDATE:

Apparently, he had to get a new voter registration card onsite.

Tony Harris, the commentator, was laughing his head off. It was pretty humourous.

[babylonsister]

1. Cool. Now he can see first hand how it feels. nt

[originalpckelly]

2. Oh you have got to be kidding me!

:rofl:

[timber84]

3. Classic!

F/U Mark Sanford!

[BootinUp]

4. what a dork!

lol.

[liberal N proud]

5. I love it when someone is bitten in the ass by their own snake

[libhill]

10. Yup

that's the thing about karma, comes back and bites ya in the ass every time!

[Atman]

6. Probably a bullshit PR stunt to prove how "fair" the new law is

and "secure" your vote supposedly is.

.

[Horse with no Name]

22. Yep

And then retrieve the proper documents and proclaim how simple that was once he had the proper documents in order.:puke:

[The Count]

29. I agree.

[FourScore]

30. Didn't look like it.

The press corp was there and he couldn't be filmed by them casting a ballot for himself. He looked embarrassed. He had his back to the camera, frantically making phone calls. It was great!

[Atman]

31. Well then, that'd be cool!

LOL!

.

[hiaasenrocks]

34. No. Trust me, Sanford isn't smart enough to pull off the

requisite acting job.

[Kagemusha]

41. You sound amusingly confident in that.

I'll take your word for it.

[treestar]

42. Absolutely, Insufficient ID Bullshyte. They know who he is.

The point is to know who the voter is, not just the mere production of paperwork. If they know the person by sight, they don't need the ID. (which is why traditionally IDs were not needed, as communities were tight enough to know each other).

[katinmn]

7. LOL!

[kurth]

8. He didn't take a blood test?

[Rainscents]

9. K & R!

This is so delicious!:rofl:

[Bozita]

11. poetic justice

[China_cat]

12. Good.

I'm in SC. Had my 3 pieces of ID ready (2 of them photo) but never got asked for them. I was shocked.

[Kurovski]

13. Maybe only "certain" folks get asked.

If ya know what I mean...

[China_cat]

26. That's possible.

The last time I saw Sanford, he was wearing so much fake tan that he made Obama look positively white.

[Kurovski]

32. ...

:rofl:

[hlthe2b]

15. 3 Pieces?!!! Damn! What is next? A tattoo on your "privates?"

This has to stop...:mad:

[elehhhhna]

24. No. IIRC, the tatoo goes on thethe wrist.

[malachi]

14. This guy is a genius. Light burns eyes of SC Gov.

I'm sure that he will win reelection quite easily in SC.

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Gov. Mark Sanford burned his eyes under the bright stage lights at a groundbreaking ceremony Sunday night and was sidelined yesterday, on the last day of the campaign, his wife said.

Sanford, a Republican seeking reelection, was taking eye drops and hoped to rejoin his campaign later yesterday, Jenny Sanford said.

Extremely bright light can dry out the surface of the eye and cause the equivalent of a sunburn on the cornea, said Steve Masone, president-elect of the South Carolina Optometric Association. The cornea usually recovers, he said, although a severe burn can be permanent.- AP

[Lautremont]

18. Light of oncoming headlights burns eyes of SC Gov.

[warrens]

21. Maybe he got tanned and they thought he was a "darkie"

You KNOW who those laws are aimed at.

[watrwefitinfor]

39. This is the Repug Gov who can't even veto a piece of legislation

without having it overridden by his own Repug Congress.
And he vetoed a whole lot of them.
A real winner, he is.

Wat

[ThatsMyBarack]

16. Amazing!

:thumbsup:

[Lugnut]

17. Ha!

That's rich.

[lala_rawraw]

19. wow, okay

[rumpel]

20. lol

:rofl:

[Straight Shooter]

23. Just goes to show he doesn't make himself available to the public.

You would think they would recognize the guy, eh?

I agree with the above poster, it sounds like a set-up to show that, "Hey, nothing to see here, just a little oopsie and then it all gets fixed okey-dokey."

[SF Bay Area Dem]

25. Some RW NUT inconvenienced at the polls? LOL! n/c

[Nikki Stone1]

27. Very funny. I'll bet his PR people are fuming.

:)

[NavyDavy]

28. whats good for the goose....oh you know the rest!!

[hiaasenrocks]

33. EVERYONE in SC should try this!

See if you get the same treatment as the governor.

If I hadn't already voted in Charleston, I would try this. Damn.

[FourScore]

35. Can you imagine

being the poll worker who turned him away? :rofl:

[FourScore]

36. GOP Congressman also turned away -- wrong voter ID!!!!

Gov. Mark Sanford was turned away at his home precinct in Charleston County on Tuesday morning because he did not have his voter registration card.

The poll manager at Sullivan’s Island Elementary School said the governor was not allowed to vote.

Sanford’s wife, Jenny, cast her ballot, but the governor had to got to the county’s voter registration office to get a new card.

While he was standing in line to vote, Sanford said this is his last campaign, win or lose.
