To the DarkAges: My name is Ernest E. Yarborough, J.D., the Petitioner. I will be glad to tell you what right I had to bring this Petition. Statutory and case law gave me the right to bring the Petition. Instead of just looking to criticize, you should have done your homework and you would have found the same compelling authority that I found. More importantly, moral justice gives me the authority to challenge what I perceived to be evilness. For years, I have stood by Ms. McDaniel when she was right....but she knew that I would not stand by her when is she wrong. I have told her this in public.

If you want me to give you the legal authority and break it down for you, please call me at 803 633 5983. Otherwise, I would highly recommend that you do your homework before going on the offense in the public media. Sincerely, Ernest

P.S.: If you truly believe in the position that you are advocating, why not reveal your true identify instead of hiding behind a fake screen name. We are legally and morally accountable for what we say or do. If you believe in what you are saying, why not test your theory by first revealing you true identity. I will give you some free advice: What you have said in this post is not legally actionable (not defamatory)....but with this type of manifested recklessness, it will not be long before you are defending your statements in a court of law.....just be careful--because I certainly have MY eyes on you.

TAKE DIRTY POLITICS OUT OF EDUCATION

A LADY ASKS FOR AN ATTORNEY AND A CONTINUANCE DUE TO LACK OF TIMELY NOTICE. IT IS DENIED. SHE IS TRIED IN HER ABSENCE. THIS IS A SECRET MEETING.

A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME STINKS.

The defendant was served with a subpoena late on a Friday afternoon. The courthouse was closed until 9:00 Wednesday morning the day of the hearing. The Courthouse contains all the property records.

ONE PERSON CANNOT TAKE AWAY THE RESIDENCE OF A PERSON ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF FAIRFIELD COUNTY.

IF HER DISTRICT DOES NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS THEY ARE SLEEP.

DO NOT TRY TO JUSTIFY THE FACT THAT A TARGET WAS SIGHTED AND HIT.

Spelling is important also.But the substantive message is primary.

Your hand in it is very noticable.

This was not a secret meeting of the Fairfield County ELECTION Commission as it was announced in this venue on April 17, 2010. And, since Ms McDaniel was subpoenaed, she should have had ample notice to prepare her defense.

This meeting was called for one reason only: to determine if her residency met the requirements listed on the Voter Registration Application ( http://www.scvotes.org/files/VR_Blank_Form.pdf ). It didn't. Therefore, she's not a legally registered voter.

This decision did not award any money to Mr. Yarborough. Also, the county attorney was being gracious to Ms McDaniel when he advised the election commission not to issue an arrest warrant for her (although they would have been within their rights to do so since Ms McDaniel was subpoenaed to testify and left the proceedings before she was dismissed).

Yes, Fairfield County is making news for bad reasons. But remember: this forum is open to the world. Before we as residents make uninformed and inflammatory comments, perhaps we should think about how those comments will add to or detract from our reputation? (Also, using correct grammar is a plus.)

I'm sure this is not over but I'm glad it happened. Not resigning in the face of over whelming displeasure with her performance, demonstrates further the lack of integrity.

please advise who the County Attorney is

Is this Mr. Coleman too? He is senator, town attorney, his partner is the chief magistrate, I do believe...legislative delegation who appoints the Election Committee..soon to appoint Board members,and the finance committee for the school.

i guess he is county attorney, too

did he advise the Election Commission on this issue?

if not,who is the County Attorney?

While we are on the subject of residence,please provide the explanation that was given by the petitioner that established his right to even bring the suit. You printed that he said he was a resident of Richland. He claims that he would be would damaged by McDaniel being on the Board. Did he prove during those 2 hours what his alleged equitable interest was in Fairfield? Did you determine whether he would, in fact, be damaged? The public needs to know exactly what that interest is. If he cannot do that, then he would have no damages and no right to even have a hearing.

MS. McDANIEL WAS PRESUMED GUILTY BEFORE IT WAS EVEN PROVEN THAT A CASE EXISTED.

LONG LIVE JUSTICE IN AMERICAN. NEVER IN FAIRFIELD. THE DARK AGES STILL REIGN WITHIN THE COUNTY LINES.

THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW. THE PRESS HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY TO ASK. WHAT IS THAT EQUITABLE INTEREST THAT IS BEING CLAIMED? AN EQUITABLE INTEREST MUST BE PROVED BEFORE A RIGHT OF ACTION IS ESTABLISHED.

ALSO, GIVE THE PUBLIC THE REASONS FOR THE DECISION. SECRETS IN A HEARING ARE REASON FOR REVERSAL, REMAND, AND REPRIMAND!

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA WILL SCRUTINIZE EVERY ASPECT OF THIS SO-CALLED "DECISION."

I HOPE THEY WILL REACH A DECISION BEFORE THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT DOES.

WHAT A JOKE. LITTLE FAIRFIELD MAKES NATIONAL NEWS....FOR WHAT? GOOD QUESTION. INEPTNESS. IMMATURITY, INABILITY TO ACT LIKE ADULTS AND TO COMMUNICATE, INTIMIDATION, AND ON AND ON.

AND WHO IS THE NEXT TARGET? CHECK THE LIST. YOUR NAME MAY BE ON IT.

ARE YOU HUMAN? RUTHLESSNESS HAS NEVER BEEN TOLERATED IN THIS COUNTY...UNTIL RECENTLY, THAT IS. WHAT CHANGED TO ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN? YOU DECIDE.

What hilarity! That Kangaroo Court is made of sand. A weak wind could blow that ineptness to Iceland

Those people just made McDaniel entitled to millions of taxpayer money. Can you say retarded? I can. This is AMERICA.
