The mystery of Alvin Green’s primary win in South Carolina continues to baffle and astound! Here is an interview with a woman who voted for him because his name reminded her of Al Green. Al Green, of course, lives in Tennessee. And has a different name. And there is no law that says if you have no idea what you are talking about you still have to vote. But. You know. DEMOCRACY IN ACTION!

Is the woman who voted for him named Godsauce? PSYCHE! Just kiddin’!
Steve, we already know what you are going to say when Godsauce shows up:
PSYCHE! Just kiddin’!
Heyyyy, that’s not fair, using screen-shots of other commentators comments out of context, fella
Sorry, Stevie. Are photoshops ok?
STOP DOING THAT! It’s not funny, guy
Weird. You can also rearrange these letters to spell SETEC ASTRONOMY
Maybe if I change my name to Ivan Hay I can become a senator too
Does this mean that politicians are going to begin changing their names ( just like the stars!) to be more appealing to voters? Probably….and I would assume first up is Anthony Weiner of New York.
What, politicians changing names = farfetched and humorous now? In the old country, we had a politician change his name from Russo to “aRusso” to get put first on a ballot. Honest. Here’s a description.

And here’s his son, with the “a” still firmly in place.

I voted for Alvin Greene because I wanted to show my support for the environment.
That’s your next president: Ronald McDonald.
Mike Jackson, Communist candidate from California’s 43 Congressional district will be pleased to hear about this.
Doesn’t everywhere have nice bloggers who write voting guides that prove helpful to citizens of all political stripes? It’s not that hard to pay a little attention, dummies.
We all battle our hidden motives at the ballot box. I voted for Dennis Kucinich because when I scratched and sniffed the screen, his name smelled like butterscotch.
i voted for him because i heard he’d grant me three wishes!
dennis kucinich is very short.
Troll 2 is the best movie of all time
*irony
I voted for Alvin Greene because I liked The Squeakal so much.
Maybe people just appreciate a soul legend. Personally, I think “Let’s Stay Together” is a classic of the genre
Pshh, That’s Nothing, I once voted for George W. Bush because Drugs. *
*I did not actually do this
* No, but W did.
I get an alarming amount of my real-world news from Videogum now.
Does this make me an uninformed voter?
you are more informed than the woman who voted for Al(vin) Green(e).
You are now fully informed and qualified to vote in most huffington post quick polls.
I still think this story tells you more about the state of South Carolina than any history class could.
It’s funny that she’s ashamed because she contributed to South Carolina being the butt of another joke, not because she voted for A COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED UNEMPLOYED ILLITERATE FELON.
“No no, she voted for Alvin Greene.”
-Jay Leno
How did he scrape up the $10,000 to get on the ballot?

I am supremely disappointed that plaque does not include “The Body”.
I can’t take personal responsibility for Reagan, but as a near-lifelong resident of the state (and despite NOT HAVING VOTED FOR SCHWARZENEGGER EVER I WAS AGAINST THE RECALL), on behalf of California, I sincerely apologize for the doofus fuckups we’ve unleashed on the nation.
For a second I thought you didn’t vote for Schwarzenegger because you didn’t like Total Recall.
Total Recall actual line as Schwarzenegger drives a giant drill through some guy, “SCREW YOU!”
Arnold Schwarzenegger, a troll in his own movie.
His mustache just exudes honesty, no?
This woman should have voted on a different outfit.
What are you talking about? I Love Vampire Weekend!
It’s a real shame that Sean Combs intimidates people like this into voting with death threats.
That is the most convenient explanation since Tom Cruise novelty-danced his way to a “spontaneous” movie deal.
That’s hilarious because that’s what i suggested in the last article about this!
“Is it possible that the people of South Carolina thought they were voting for Al Green, legendary soul singer? ‘I’m so tired of bein’ alone…’ “
You said “hilarious” but I think the word you are actually looking for is “depressing”. Very very depressing.
Full disclosure: I spent 14years of my life in South Carolina and nothing about this story surprises me.
