      We can probably compare and contrast the case of Aaron Coleman with that of Alvin Greene, just ten years ago Alvin Greene, like Coleman, was ALSO a creepy weirdo who won an upset in the primariesagainst the Dem establishment candidate, for one of South Carolina's senate seats

      The South Carolina Democrats groomed Vic Rawl, a Charleston city councilman, as their best shot to unseat Jim DeMint. He ended up losing by over thirty thousand votes to Alvin Greene, an absolute rando who raised no money, had no events, had no campaign website

      When Greene won, it was absolutely inexplicable. But the one thing everybody was suddenly certain of was that he hadn't won the election on his own merits. Rawl's people insisted the election had been tampered with, that there were irregularities in all the districts Greene won

      That Greene was possibly a Republican plant, designed to sabotage the South Carolina Democrats' chance of claiming a senate seat Other pundits suggested explanations even MORE unflattering to the SC electorate; that Greene had won because the ballot listed him alphabetically

      Or the surely not-at-all racist explanation that South Carolinians mistook Alvin Greene for soul singer The Reverend Al Green There was no rationalization for his victory that did not paint voters as either deceived, apathetic, or profoundly imbecilic

      There were a lot of people trying to argue that Black voters had voted for Greene because he was Black, even though the vast majority of them had no way to know what People started arguing that Greene with an extra E was a "Black-coded spelling" and such

      (Which is mostly pulled from thin air - I think someone crunched the numbers on the census and eventually concluded that, nationwide, Greenes are slightly more likely to be Black than Greens, but that's because Greene is a *Southern* spelling of the name)

      Or, rather, that archaic English spellings of names are more common in the South I mean the most famous Greene (Graham Greene) is a white guy So, you know, inconclusive

      The other famous Greenes that come to mind - Lorne Greene from Bonanza, Ashley Greene who played Alice Cullen in Twilight - are also quite white The most famous Black Green, Al Green, as you point out, *doesn't* have the E

          Honestly the best explanation, barring fraud, is just the "normal name hypothesis" You get a lot of people who feel like voting on something despite their low level of knowledge or investment, they just vote for whoever has the most "normal" name

          Or, you know, if people want to protest vote against someone they don't like, they're psychologically much more likely to do it if the unknown challenger has a "generic" name so they can imagine their protest vote is going to a "generic politician"
