Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney Faces Voting Mix-Up on Election Day

A clerical error at the polls led to Swinney being mistakenly recorded as having already voted, prompting a need for a paper ballot and a subsequent hearing.

  • Dabo Swinney, head coach of Clemson's football team, encountered a voting mishap when he attempted to vote on Election Day.
  • Poll workers informed Swinney that records showed he had already voted, leading to confusion and a delay.
  • The voting error was traced back to Swinney's son, Will, who voted early and whose vote was mistakenly recorded under Swinney's name.
  • Swinney had to fill out a paper ballot and will attend a hearing on Friday to ensure both votes are counted correctly.
  • Despite the inconvenience, Swinney maintained a sense of humor about the situation, joking about his recent football loss and the mix-up.
