Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney joked Tuesday that the state was ready to vote him out of office after an Election Day misunderstanding. Poll workers in South Carolina denied Swinney's attempt to cast a ballot Tuesday morning, telling him the system indicated he had voted already. Swinney explained to reporters that the system mistook Dabo -- whose legal first name is William -- for his son with the same name who had voted early. "They done voted me out of the state," Swinney quipped. "We're 6-2 and 5-1, man. They done shipped me off." Swinney said he filled out a paper ballot and will attend a hearing on Friday to resolve the situation.
