In all earnestness, Lord, we come at the very beginning of this Legislative Session seeking Your guidance and help - not just for today, but for all of our days ahead. Cause us confidently to know that when a need arises and there is a demand for greater wisdom than our own, that You are ready to prepare us for a new beginning. Grant us the unlimited faith in God which enables us to hear clearly Your words of assurance as spoken in the prophecy of Isaiah: "I have taken you by the hand and kept you." In his sure confidence, we face with courage the all tasks You have given us.
Undergird us by Your strength; uphold us by Your presence. Amen.

Eslie Rast Stuart, )
Respondent. )
TO: ELSIE RAST STUART, VOTERS OF S.C. HOUSE DISTRICT 96, AND ALL OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES:
YOU WILL PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that Normal E. Fogle, appellant, by and through his undersigned attorneys, will appeal and does hereby appeal the Order of the Board of State Canvassers dated December 17, 1992 and received by appellant on December 23, 1992 to the South Carolina House of Representatives.
This appeal is filed pursuant to S.C. Code Section 7-17-250 (1976). This appeal arises out of the protest of the outcome of the election for S.C. House District 96 held November 3, 1992, the mandatory recount held November 13, 1992, and the certification of election results by the Board of State Canvassers on November 16, 1992. The protest was heard November 25, 1992 and resulted in the Order now being appealed.
The appeal is made on the following grounds:
1) The certified results of the election for S.C. House of Representatives District 96 were as follows:
Elsie Rast Stuart - 5285 votes
Norman E. Fogle - 5193 votes
The county totals were: Lexington Orangeburg
Stuart: 3156 votes 2129 votes
Fogle: 1640 votes 3553 votes
2) The election procedure utilized in the East Springfield Precinct of Orangeburg County was invalid and had the effect of altering the true results of the election. The certified results of the East Springfield precinct were as follows:
Elsie Rast Stuart - 111
Norman E. Fogle - 255
3) East Springfield Precinct in Orangeburg County is a split precinct with some of the voters eligible to vote in House District 86 and some of the voters eligible to vote in House District 96. The poll workers for the East Springfield Precinct of Orangeburg County were provided with 400 ballots containing the House district 96 race and 250 ballots containing the House District 86 race. The list of eligible registered voters provided to the poll workers indicated which voters were to receive ballots for District 86 and which voters were to receive ballots for District 96. Disregarding proper procedure, the first 400 voters to appear at East Springfield Precinct on November 3, 1992, were provided with ballots exposing them to the House District 96 race without regard to which part of the precinct they resided in. The last 48 voters were provided with ballots exposing them to the House District 86 race. This improper procedure had the following results:
a) Voters who should have been allowed to vote in the House District 96 race were denied the opportunity to do. Appellant established at the protest hearing that 32 voters who lived in House District 96 received ballots for House District 86.
b) Voters who should have been allowed to vote in the House District 86 race were instead allowed to vote in the House District 96 race. Appellant established at the protest hearing that 159 voters who lived in House District 86 received ballots for House district 96.
4) There were 448 votes cast in the East Springfield precinct of Orangeburg County. The certified vote totals reflect that there were 27 total votes cast in House district 86: Sharp - 27 and write-in - 3. The certified vote totals reflect that there were 367 total votes cast in House District 96: Stuart - 111; Fogle - 255; and write-in - 1. Therefore, 54 ballots did not vote in either House race. The following possibilities that adversely affect Fogle's total and the integrity of the election:
a) Fogle should have received the vote of any House District 96 voter who voted a straight Democratic Party ballot. If a straight Democratic Party ballot was cast on a District 86 ballot, no vote was recorded and Fogle lost that vote.
b) Stuart improperly received the vote of any person voting a straight Republican ballot if that person lived in District 86 and received a District 96 ballot.
c) Some persons who would have voted for Fogle did not vote in a House race when they did not see his name on the ballot as an option.
5) That the improper election procedures in the East Springfield precinct of Orangeburg County have the effect of bringing the election results in doubt.
6) That the following well-settled rule of law in South Carolina, established by the State Supreme Court and consistently followed by the Board of State Canvassers over the years, requires that improper or illegal votes in an election must be subtracted from the winner. In this case, appellant alleges that there were 191 improper votes. The margin of difference is 92 votes. Therefore, subtraction of the improper votes from the winner's total would bring the results of the election into question. Even subtracting the improper votes from the winner's East Springfield totals would have the effect of bringing the election result into question.
7) The Board misconstrued and misapplied the holding of the Supreme Court in Hill v. South Carolina Election Commission, 304 S.C. 150, 403 S.E.2d 309 (S.C. 1991). Hill is not applicable to this case because there were no misidentified voters on the list of eligible voters. Every voter was properly listed on the voter list compiled by the Orangeburg County Election Commission. Therefore, it was unforeseeable that the there would be a problem with voter identification.
8) The Board's decision is contrary to S.C. Code Section 7-13-810 (1976, as amended) which prohibits challenges after the time that a voter receives a ballot.
9) This appeal is made on the foregoing grounds and on any other grounds that may become apparent after a review of the transcript of the proceedings before the Board of State Canvassers.
WHEREFORE, based on the foregoing appeal, appellant requests that the South Carolina House of Representatives inquire into this matter, issue an order setting an appeal briefing schedule and such hearing as allowed by law, find the election results to be in doubt and order a new election and for such other and further relief as the South Carolina House of Representatives deems appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,

DENNIS, ONE OF SOUTH CAROLINA'S ABLEST AND MOST DISTINGUISHED LEADERS, AND EXTENDING DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS WONDERFUL FAMILY AND HIS COUNTLESS FRIENDS.
Whereas, former Senator Rembert Coney Dennis of Berkeley County departed this life on June 20, 1992; and
Whereas, it was with the greatest sadness that all South Carolinians received the news of this great man's death; and
Whereas, Rembert Dennis was our cherished colleague in the General Assembly for many decades, having served in the House of Representatives from 1939-42 and as a member of the Senate from 1943 until 1988, when he retired from public service for health reasons; and
Whereas, he was the product of a distinguished South Carolina family whose members devoted themselves to public service for generations; and
Whereas, he was a superb and highly skilled legislator who commanded the respect and deep admiration of his colleagues, rising to the high post of chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, member of the State Budget and Control Board, and president pro tempore of the Senate; and
Whereas, he labored tirelessly in numerous areas of legislative endeavors for the betterment of the lives of his fellow citizens of the Palmetto State, but he will probably be remembered, and appreciated, most of all in two areas -- the State's financial strength and security and the improvement and strengthening of the State's fish, game, and wildlife laws; and
Whereas, he was a distinguished and outstanding attorney with an excellent legal grasp of legislative and other matters and was admired by his fellow lawyers in South Carolina for his legal skills and ability; and
Whereas, although he sacrificed much to be a full-time governmental leader and dedicated public servant for decades, he yet found the time to be thoroughly devoted to his family, whose love and support enabled him, and encouraged him, to serve the State; and
Whereas, he was known for his patience and for his quiet but effective manner of getting things done, but, most of all, he was known and loved for his compassion for others; he never hesitated to help anyone in need, and the beneficiaries of his kindness and generosity over the years will forever be too numerous to count; and
Whereas, Rembert Dennis was a great and beloved leader, a true friend to us, his colleagues, and a remarkably talented and dedicated public servant who will be missed greatly by all the citizens of South Carolina, but we were all blessed to have known him and to have benefitted from his leadership. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, express profound sorrow at the death of former Senator Rembert C. Dennis, one of South Carolina's ablest and most distinguished leaders, and extend deepest sympathy to his wonderful family and his countless friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Senator Dennis' family.
The Concurrent Resolution was agreed to and ordered sent to the Senate.
