Yesterday we reported to you the nefarious (or naïve) activities of the SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick & the State Executive Committee. Click the image above or HERE to read about it.
We also reported to you that SCGOP Rule 2(c) makes clear that STATE LAW trumps the SCGOP Rules (and actions). Imagine that, they can’t break the STATE LAW without also breaking SCGOP Party Rules!!!

Well then, what is the STATE LAW?
State law is actually very clear. Election Law Sections 7-9-70 & -80 discus the County Conventions and specifically say the “county committee” … ie your local executive committee (151 members here in Greenville) … run the Precinct ReOrg and County Convention.
The SCGOP can OBSERVE … and everyone is welcome and encouraged watch … but they can not USURP the authority of the local “county committee” to RUN YOUR OWN REORG & COUNTY CONVENTION.
Nowhere does it say the SCGOP Executive Committee can run any county parties ReOrg …
Read below and if you have any questions … or think we are wrong … let us know.

Well then, what is the PENALTY?
Here is where it get’s really good.
If the SCGOP violates the provisions of Sections 7-9-70 & -80 … the SC Republican Party MUST BE decertified.
That may sound like a STIFF PENALTY at first (it is not really when you consider what is at stake) … but read it … it is the LAW and very clear!!!
Again, read below and if you have any questions … or think we are wrong … let us know.

STAY TUNED!!! We have reached out to both the SC State Election Commission … the SCGOP … Rules Committee Chairman Tony Denny … and others.
Let’s hope clearer minds prevail. Stay Tuned!!!
