We’ve always been told that you can fool a polygraph machine by simply wiggling your toes when you’re lying, but for what it’s worth S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer has reportedly passed a polygraph examination regarding his role – or apparently non-role – in the recent allegations of infidelity leveled against S.C. Rep. Nikki Haley.
Bauer took the exam on Sunday after Haley accused him in a televised debate of goading lobbyist Larry Marchant into claiming that he had a one-night stand with Haley at a school choice conference in 2008. Marchant, incidentally, is taking a polygraph exam on Monday regarding the veracity of his claim.
“I’m not willing to have that kind of false accusation go unchallenged,” Bauer said. “She made a false accusation about me, and I wanted to prove that I was telling the truth”…
COLUMBIA — Just one day before the polls open across the state, one of the men claiming he had an affair with GOP candidate Nikki Haley sat down Monday to back up his claim. Lobbyist Larry Marchant took a polygraph test at his attorney’s office in downtown Columbia.
WACH Fox hired two separate independent polygraph examiners to conduct the test, and a WACH Fox News representative was present Monday afternoon to observe.
Marchant officially tested inconclusive. However; independent polygraph examiner John Davis said the the test results show no indication that Marchant was being untruthful in his answers…
South Carolina gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley is vowing to resign if either of the two men who say they’ve had an affair with her is ever able to prove it. Both blogger Will Folks and lobbyist Larry Marchant have in the last two weeks claimed to have had sex with Haley while she was married, but neither has been able to present any definitive proof of such a relationship. Marchant, who until Thursday worked on a rival Republican primary campaign, has even conceded that it will be “very hard” to prove his alleged one-night stand with Haley.
Haley — the only woman in the race — has denied having a sexual relationship with either man and in a radio interview Thursday with Columbia’s WVOC said she would resign if either man is able to present proof.
“If something comes out after you win the primary, or after you win the general election [to] become South Carolina’s next governor, if something were to come out that validates the claims that have been made against you — in terms of stepping out on your husband and on your marriage — would you resign as governor because basically the way you’ve handled it has been an absolute, 100 percent denial?” the host asked Haley.
“Yes,” the state representative responded.
“Yes, you would resign?” the host again asked.
“Yes,” she said.
