Dabo Swinney denied ability to vote in South Carolina: ‘They done voted me out of the state’

Dabo Swinney wasn’t expecting to face defense away from the gridiron. During a press conference on Election Day, the Clemson head coach revealed that he wasn’t allowed to vote when visited his local polling place.

“They done voted me out of the state,” Swinney joked. “We’re 6-2 and 5-1, man. They done shipped me off.”

Swinney said the poll workers claimed that the system indicated he’d already voted. In reality, the system was mistaking Dabo — whose legal first name is William — for his son with the same name, who had voted last week.

Swinney ultimately completed a paper ballot and will have a hearing on Friday to resolve the issue.

This story will be updated.
