CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) 鈥 It has been a rough few days for Clemson coach Dabo Swinney. First, his 19th-ranked Tigers lost to Louisville on Saturday night, then he was told he couldn't vote Tuesday at his polling place.
Swinney, whose given name is William, explained that the voting system had locked him out, saying a 鈥淲illiam Swinney鈥 had already voted last week. Swinney said it was his oldest son, Will, and not him.
鈥淭hey done voted me out of the state,鈥 Swinney said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e 6-2 and 5-1 (in the Atlantic Coast Conference), man. They done shipped me off."
Dabo Swinney had to complete a paper ballot and was told there will be a hearing on Friday to resolve the issue.
鈥淚 was trying to do my best and be a good citizen and go vote,鈥 he said. 鈥淪ometimes doing your best ain鈥檛 good enough. You have to keep going though, keep figuring it out.鈥
