Apparently there was a form about investments that needed to be turned in AT THE EXACT SAME TIME. The same day or even an hour or so later is a does not count. People are calling foul and it looks like only challengers are the only ones getting hammered.

The South Carolina Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that candidates who failed to submit statements of economic interest at the exact same time they filed for office must be removed from the ballot.

Why would so many not follow the rules? It can't be pure incompetence I wouldn't think.

It all depends on the time stamp of the documents....apparently there are a shit load of incumbents who will now face no challenge and there could be House races with no one on the ballot according to some of the tweets. I had not heard a word about this until I came across a link on The Blaze.

I love South Carolina, I visit there every year by boat thru the sea islands. I spend money there, but I don’t think I would like to live there.

SC laws says I have to clear out in 90 30 days, or get taxed out the wahoo.

I do. I leave.

What party does this heavily favor?
Dems, republicans or incumbents?

I am gonna guess the status quo is the victor, dems a close second and republicans taking it in the rear as usual.

Republicans control just about every element of SC.  

Don't ask me about SC government though.

Oh, ELECTION chaos.

I read the title too fast and thought there was some fiasco involving overstrength Viagra.

Not so much.

Ever heard of the character in Army cadences who is always with your girl back home?  Jody. So I suppose he probably dies get his ass kicked on a regular basis, but he deserves it.
