SCGOP Rule 2(f) – Member of the Body

Who cam run for SCGOP Chair?

Published

1 year ago

on


7/30/2022 Proposed Changes: HERE

There has been a lot of “talk” around about who can and who can’t run for SCGOP Chair … and especially about Rule 2(f). It is interesting watching people opine on what they think … but it is critical to look at the Rules themselves, as well as what lawyers would call the “legislative history” – why the Rule was put into place initially.

In way of background, know that the new (as of July 30, 2022) rule 2(f) came about at a Special Called State Convention to hammer through some nefarious rules to help protect DREW MCKISSICK and his leadership group.

It was obvious, but there was no way MAGA America First could STOP the rules changes at the time … and you might find interesting the delegates (as well as some of us members of the State Executive Committee) were not even provided the 2022 RULES CHANGES (HERE) or the 2022 RESOLUTIONS (HERE) until the day before the Saturday Convention … not provided until Friday July 29th, 2022, at 8:01am.  Not much time to review.

Here is the new (as of 7/30/2022) Rule 2(f):  “(f) All elections to a party office at all levels of organization shall be decided by a majority vote unless otherwise directed by the rules; all delegates shall be elected by plurality vote. Candidates must be a member of a precinct or convention body to be eligible for election by the body at each respective level. Candidates for party office above the precinct level, as well as for delegate to the State and National Conventions must have voted in at least two (2) of the three (3) most recent statewide Republican primaries, either in this or any previous state of residence, provided they were old enough to have done so.”

Here is the Rationale for Rule 2(f) as presented to all the voting delegates:  “This clarifies that someone must be a member of a body in order for the other members of the body to elect them to any office, as well as establishing an objective minimum standard of support for the Republican Party in order to run for Party office or delegate positions to the state and/or national conventions.”

It is not complicated.   If you are not a member of the SCGOP convention body, you are not eligible to be elected to any office at the SCGOP level.  

So the only question for someone wanting to run for SCGOP Chair (or any other statewide officer position) … “are YOU a State Delegate?”  

Whether we agree with the Rule or not … it is the Rule … find a way to comply.

Plus, our belief … if you can NOT win leadership in your own county GOP … or lead a “rebellion against the RINOs” in your own county to kick out the establishment … or simply get elected as a State Delegate (or Alternate?) … all by the people that know you best in your county … do you have any business running for SCGOP Chair?  We don’ think so.  Is that unreasonable?

——————-

[NOTE:  Rule 2(f) was added on July 30, 2022, as was clearly meant to keep new folks out – first adding the Greenville 2 of 3 primaries rule … and second being a member of the body – to keep a “Lin Wood” out.  We all knew it, and yes, it is another reason to #FireDREW!!!]

[NOTE:  Are “alternates” members of the body?  To date it has been assumed so … but be prepared even for that to be an issue someday … like all these Rules, they are not clear and can be interpreted however the establishment cabal wants to interpret them … when needed.]

The Joe Kernell Employment Contracts – PART 1

Where there is a WILL, there is a WAY.

Published

4 weeks ago

on

May 1, 2026

By

OK friends … this one is a homework assignment.

Joe Kernell has served as Greenville County Administrator since 2004. Over that time, he has become one of the most controversial figures in local Greenville politics. Despite repeated calls over the years—if not the past decade—to “make a change,” Kernell remains in place.

So what’s going on?

The 2024 County Council elections brought significant turnover, with four new members (out of twelve total) campaigning – at least in part – on removing Kernell. Yet, just before those new members were sworn in, his contract was renewed on December 3, 2024.

Then it happened again.

On January 20, 2026, Kernell’s contract was extended for an additional 18 months—reportedly as a “final” extension. Voters were told Council had no real option but to approve the extension.

But does that actually make sense?

Remember: Watch what they DO, not what they SAY.

So here’s the assignment:

Below are the employment contracts for Kernell dating back to 2006. Many of you have legal or human resources backgrounds. Take a close look and tell us what you see.

Is there – or was there – a way out of these contracts?

We’re told the answer is no. That Council’s hands were tied.

But as we often say: where there is a WILL, there is a WAY.

So the real question becomes:

Was there simply no will to replace Kernell?
