(Greenville, SC) -- The Greenville County Republican Party is overturning a primary following a protest by a defeated incumbent.
County Councilman Joe Dill filed a protest after losing the District 17 Republican Primary to Joey Russo by 132 votes.
At a special meeting yesterday, Dill brought up concerns about voting machines that weren't calibrated, unskilled poll workers and issues with submitting ballots.
Dill said he hoped another election would be held because it needed to be "fair to all of us."
Following the meeting, Russo's lawyer said he would immediately appeal the ruling and ask the South Carolina Republican Party executive committee to certify the original results.
