(AP) - Former state Sen. Eugene
Carmichael has lost his bid for a U.S.
Supreme Court review of his April
1981 vote fraud conviction. But further
legal maneuvers could block the start
of his 10-year prison sentence for
some time.
Columbia attorney Henry Hammer,
who rpnrwpntpH flarmiphaol'c r?r?_
defendant in the appeal, former
Lakeview mayor Joe Grady Flowers,
said attorneys might file motions for
rehearing or for a reduction of sentence.
But he said they haven't
decided on a strategy yet.
G'ARMICHAEL SAID a telephone
call from The Associated Press was
the first he had heard that the high
court had refused without comment to
hear his appeal. He said he didn't

Carmichael and Flowers were
among 30 Dillon County residents who
were either convicted or pleaded
guilty to election law violations in
connection with the county's 1980
Democratic primary.
A WIDELY PUBLICIZED state and
federal investigation turned up
evidence that local party officials and
others conspired to obtain blank
absentee ballots, which were then
marked for incumbent Sheriff Roy
l^ee, who lost.
Carmichael and Flowers appealed
their convictions on grounds that
there should have been no federal
charges, since the alleged vote
tampering involved only a local race.

However, Sen. Paul '"'antrell, DCharleston,

The expulsion move was turned
back with the aid of Carmichael
himself, who cast the deciding vote in
favor of a compromise under which he
agreed to resign if his appeal failed.
But public reaction against the
