This just in — an e-mailed statement from the very stunned Vic Rawl regarding the guy who beat him Tuesday:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Statement by Judge Vic Rawl

Judge Vic Rawl issued the following statement today:

It has been an eventful three days for our state.

The results of the Senate primary on Election Day surprised almost everyone in the state, apparently including Mr. Greene.

There are a number of serious allegations out there about the election. No one yet knows if they are true.

I do know that Jim Clyburn is an icon in state politics and what he had to say today should be taken very seriously.

If any of the allegations have merit, the people of South Carolina have a right to know that.

My campaign is looking closely at data from Election Day and otherwise for irregularities.

As for Mr. Greene, what happens next is entirely in his hands. I wish him well, and hope he makes his decisions in the best interests of his family and the people of South Carolina.
