WARNING: This audit indicates that PEB data is missing. Auditor's Comments: PEB Data is missing from three precincts, Amicks Ferry, Coldstream and Kitti Wake. In Amicks Ferry, a flash card from machine 5120205 with one vote was included. This vote was cast on 10/24/2012 at 09:12:36 AM. This machine was opened and closed on 10/24/2012. This is a test vote. In Coldstrem, flash cards from machines 5127203 and 5127572, each with one vote was included. These votes were cast on 10/23/2012 at 10:44:47 and 10/23/2012 10:49:39 respectively. Both machines were opened and closed on 10/23/2012. These are test votes. In Kitti Wake, the poll manager elected to allow some voters to vote on emergency ballots because of the long lines. When one of the commissioners discovered this, they stopped the voting on emergency ballots after 14 ballots were cast. When tabulating the ballots for the precinct, the CEC decided that these were not true emergency ballots and made manual entries to add the votes from these 14 ballots to the precinct. These same 14 ballots were also included in the 52 ballots cast in Emergency. Thus the votes on these 14 ballots were counted twice. However, machine 5128119 was not closed and the 56 ballots on it were not counted. 56 - 14 equals the delta of 42 shown for Kitti Wake. WARNING: This audit indicates that audit data is missing. Auditor's Comments: The county was unable to read flash cards from all the machines in the following precincts; Swansea #1: machine 5123405 152 ballots. These are confirmed by the Swansea #1 iVotronic tape. Edenwood: machine 5125707 with 193 ballots cast. The county cannot locate the Edenwood iVotronic tape. The missing machine number was determined from the list of machines sent to the precincts maintained by the county. Overall Comments: Note the difference between the EL30A and the EL155/EL152 ballot totals below match the 314 ballots that are not included in the audit data (Manual Entry and Delta) above.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in South Carolina. Smoking-related medical costs amount to $1.1 billion each year, including $393 million for Medicaid. • Tobacco growing in South Carolina declined by over 50 percent from 1997 to 2008. Tobacco accounted for less than 10% of the state's cash receipts from all crops in 2007. Despite the low levels of actual tobacco growing and the small role tobacco played in the state's economy in 2008, the cultural construct of being a “tobacco growing state” continued to have a disproportionately large impact on tobacco control policy making.

Episode 8 of pubpoliticslive.com is the infamous one, but you won't find it on View Full Schedule the website. According to the listeners of the online political talk show, Lexington Senator Jake Knotts said Thursday night, "We already got one ‘raghead’ in the White House. We don't need a ‘raghead’ in the governor's mansion." Knotts used raghead, a derogatory term, disparaging the ethnic backgrounds of President Barack Obama and gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley. Knotts later apologized for his comments. We went to Knotts’ house Friday. His wife told us he went fishing in the country. Wes Donehue, one of the Pub Politics founders, told CNN he would post the recording of Knotts Friday, but late Friday afternoon, Donehue told ABC Columbia News, “What Senator Knotts said on Thursday’s show does not fit with our program and its goals.” Knotts faced a round of criticism from Republican gubernatorial candidates including his closest ally, Lt. Governor Andre Bauer I spoke with Bauer by phone Friday. "I couldn't disagree more in regards to his words or his tone." "Andre, are you denouncing his comments?" The phone was disconnected and subsequent tries to reach Bauer were not successful.
