Horry County SC voting irregularity

This article from the Myrtle Beach Sun is poorly written, but you'll get the gist.

http://www.thesunnews.com/2011/12/15/2551502/atlantic-beach-horry-county-officials.html

In a nutshell, after an election in Atlantic Beach last month, there were suspicions that the voting machines had malfunctioned. The town should have returned the machines to the county, but town officials kept them for investigation. The county has now confiscated the machines. Game Over.

After further research, the machines seem to be the least of their problems. Many other shenanigans in play, including a woman posing as a representative of the state DA who took over a polling place. The state's chief justice used that word, "shenanigans," in ruling on an earlier dispute.
