Candidate Tracking – SC State Election Commission
As we say, this is the new NFL / NBA!
We are working on a couple of interesting research stories (stay tuned!!!) … and the past two days have been rather detailed reporting on another the ESA Court Loss (HERE) which is good news for “real” school choice … and these interesting AFP anti-TRUMP mailers we are all receiving (HERE) and the background on those … so today we will go easy and introduce a little educational tool to help folks track candidates for office.
A lot of people don’t know about these tools out there … but if you are going to participate in the political process, knowing what information is available, how to access it, and how to use it … is critical.
As we say, this is the new NFL / NBA!!! If Americans had spent as much time analyzing the blood sport of “politics” as they have been over the past few decades analyzing Fantasy Football / Baseball … we would not be in the mess that we are in today. DON’T BE DISTRACTED by sports or national news we have no influence over … it is all LOCAL and it is far more interesting than any sport game or soap opera!!!

Candidate Tracking
Candidate tracking … it would seem easy, but there are literally thousands of elected officials in South Carolina alone … and an estimated 519,682 elected officials in the entire United States (HERE).
That is A LOT of politicians!!!
And add in all the opposing candidates … it is a TON of people!!!
In South Carolina it is particularly hard to keep track of what offices are up for re-election, when to file, who has filed … etc, etc, etc. Probably by design as lack of information certainly protects the “incumbents” … and our experience is that protecting the “establishment” is job #1 at the State Election Commission (HERE).
But there are some tools we can use, and one such tool is on the SC State Election Commission Website – their Candidate Tracking System.
It’s clunky, but it is better than nothing.
https://scvotes.gov/candidates/
You can search by two different methods, either (#1) by the election itself … or (#2) search all elections by date. You will be able to sort and refine you search results.
If you are on your local Candidate Recruitment Committee trying to track all this information down … or you are just curious to see “who” has filed for what political races … this is a helpful tool.
It is A LOT of pecking around and seeing what you can find … but try it out and let us know what you think!!!
BONUS – HISTORIC ELECTIONS: Another good trick if you are looking what elections might be up for say the Tuesday November 7, 2023 election day … just search historically 4 years ago (as most offices are 4 year terms). What was up for election 4 years ago, will generally be up for election this November.
Search by Election

Pickens – Setting the Record Straight – A VIDEO RESPONSE
Bob Fetterly – PCRP Chair 2023-2025
YouTube (HERE) or Rumble (HERE)
We all know about the Drew McKissick shenanigans at the SCGOP State Convention back on May 3rd, 2025 with the “sneak attack” on the Pickens County Republican Party (PCRP) and the ultimate failure to seat the 24 (anti-DREW) PCRP State Delegates on fabricated charges. (mySCGOP.news, May 8th, 2025 – The Latest SCGOP Fabrication – HERE)
It really is dumbfounding … but in reality just another example in a long line of examples since the MAGA America First insurgency began in ReOrg 2021 with the outright fraud in Greenville (HERE & HERE).
Well, it is ongoing with the SCGOP … as they say, the gift that keeps giving insofar as exposing the hypocrisy and outright corruption withing the SCGOP State Leadership & State Executive Committee itself.
Specifically – the SCGOP State Executive Committee voted ( 32 to 18 ) at its quarterly meeting on June 7th, 2025, that the Pickens County Republican Party would be “suspended” until the next quarterly meeting in September. The PCRP elected leadership can no longer use the PCRP name, website, email system, bank account … even with important elections coming up in November … and the PCRP can’t meet … but somehow (even though they can’t meet?) they are supposed to come up with a “plan” to present to the SCGOP State Executive Committee in September on how to fix the fabricated problem.
Basically Pickens was “unorganized” on June 7th (without notice) – even though the SCGOP State Executive Committee did not have the 75% of the votes needed to unorganize PCRP under the “new” Rule 16(b) which was ramrodded through in a special called SCGOP convention in July 30th, 2022.
The good news is the former PCRP Chair, Bob Fetterly (who did not run, nor had he planned to run, for re-election in 2025) has published a video response to the SCGOP charges that he arbitrarily capped the number of county delegates to 400 – a bizarre charge by the SCGOP. Bob did a great job laying out the details … and it now appears that “if” there were any “Rules Violations” … it was really the SCGOP itself that violated it’s own Rules.
Take a look … we think you will enjoy the video response and details:

This is obviously going to be an ongoing story … so stay tuned!!!
