Crossover Voters & Closed Primaries – A Prime Example

What are “Republican” legislators going to do about it?

Published

on

You always hear Republican candidates (as well as folks seeking leadership within the Republican Party itself) talk endlessly during campaign season about the problem of crossover voting and the need for CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!

[NOTE: Basically the claim (and proven fact) is that Democrats crossover and vote in the June Republican Primaries for the WEAKEST Republican. If they can’t elect a Democrat in the November elections based in the political demographics of the district, they might as well elect a weak uniparty Republican willing to lie / pretend to be conservative.]

But once campaign season is over … you never hear a thing. Maybe it is because they are “working behind the scenes” … lol. We hear that excuse … A LOT!!! All talk but no action!!!

Well, it has been 20+ years for some of these people preaching “Closed Primaries” … with ZERO RESULTS … so we thought we would bring you two examples today as to why closed primaries are important for South Carolina.

Remember too … South Carolina is a REPUBLICAN SUPER MAJORITY state … we know Democrats don’t want closed primaries, Republicans are supposed to want closed primaries, so why can’t we get closed primaries?

PLUS, it is right there in our SC Republican Platform. Again, why can’t we get closed primaries?


“We believe political parties have the right to choose their nominees; therefore, we support primaries that are open only to registered voters of that political party.” – SC Republican Platform


CASE STUDIES

TWO CASE STUDIES: Some folks might think it is not really a big deal or that it doesn’t really happen that much … so we wanted to bring you two examples today of Democrat leaders that actually vote in the Republican Primaries.

If Democrat leaders are voting “Republican” … don’t you think they are encouraging mainstream Democrats to vote in the Republican Primaries as well?

We think these examples will wake up a few people.

EXAMPLE #1

RUSSELL STALL: Greenville City Councilman Russell Stall is a well known political Democrat. There is no disguising it … he is a far-left leaning Democrat, and he is pretty proud of it.

We don’t fault him for his political position as people are welcome to their opinions and beliefs even if we don’t agree … but we do find it interesting that he is listed in the SC Republican Party’s GOP Datacenter as a “HARD REPUBLICAN”. Even his wife and son are listed as “HARD REPUBLICANs” … but maybe they are, we just know that Dad is not!!!

Why does the GOP list Russell as a Hard Republican? Probably because he votes in every June Republican Primary … per our records back to 2000 … except for one!!!

It is absolutely incredible … but see below for yourself.

STALL VOTING RECORD:


EXAMPLE #2

FARRIS STEELE JOHNSON: Now this example is really good. Farris is an ultra-leftwing Democrat. There have been some controversial issues around Farris … but the key here is that Farris has figured out the crossover primary game.

In 2020 Farris ran as a Democrat for Greenville County Council. Farris filed for that election … as a Democrat in March 2020.

But three months later, in June 2020 … per the SCGOP records … Farris actually voted in the Republican Primary.

Farris actually voted again … per the SCGOP Records … in the June 2022 Republican Primaries. As we pointed out, Farris has figured out the crossover primary game.

So, the problem is not getting better … the problem is getting WORSE!!!

JOHNSON’S VOTING RECORD:


This is standard operating procedure in South Carolina politics. Democrats vote in the June Republican Primaries and pick the Republican nominee. It is a massive frustration for conservatives … and it is clearly one of the biggest reasons South Carolina is rated by CPAC as the most liberal red state in the nation.

Question is … what are “Republican” legislators going to do about it? Will they do anything? Why have some political “activists” claimed to be for closed primaries and it is their #1 issue … but we have seen no action for years? Do they really want to close the primaries? Makes you wonder …

Will a closed primaries bill pass in the 2024 SC Legislative Session? What is your guess?

Stay tuned … and get in the fight!!!

Pickens – Setting the Record Straight – A VIDEO RESPONSE

Bob Fetterly – PCRP Chair 2023-2025

Published

on

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 FabricationHERE)

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!!!
