You have to watch the video below if you want to fully understand the ridiculous nature of what the SCGOP “establish” does.  

There at two major parts to H 4066 (HERE) which was filed this past Wednesday, and had a hearing the next morning at 9AM (unheard-of!!!).

Now this is incredible.  You can read all about it in the article below from our friends at Palmetto State Watch … but watch the video.  This “Election” bill was filed at 3PM on Wednesday, added to an agenda at 5PM … and had a sub-committee meeting with TESTIMONY from nonother than DREW MCKISSICK at 9AM the next morning.

Don’t let anyone ever tell you legislation “takes time” to get through the system.  The SC House BROKE ITS OWN RULES (or at least bent them substantially) to move this at the speed of light with the hope nobody noticed it.

Read the details below from Palmetto State Watch … but we have a few suggested AMENDMENTS our legislators should all support coming on this bill that will FLIP the the bill on its head.  Drew opened a can of worms in his efforts to cheat #WeThePeople … but let’s turn it into good.

#1. The bill seeks to quash any primary election appeals within the SCGOP by requiring a$5,000 bond.  The reason?  It is too expensive for the SCGOP to hold a meeting of the State Executive Committee in Columbia with a room that will hold 100 people and provide snacks.  Seriously, that is in the video.  [And the most ridiculous thing about this bill … if the “jury” rules against your appeal, the “jury” keeps your $5,000 bond!!!  How is that for the new American Jurisprudence.  Shame on Drew McKissick!!!]

#2.  The bill seeks to consolidate “power” (for lack of a better term) behind Drew McKissick by reducing the influence of LARGER “Republican” Counties.  The reason?  Drew McKissick can’t find a venue in Columbia SC that will hold the 2,000 people a large SCGOP Convention would need.  Seriously … he can’t find a venue … and he is admitting he wants a SMALLER SCGOP CONVENTION!?!?!?!

As we teach … they want to keep it small to control it all!!!

We will let our ELECTION INTEGRITY friends take the lead on fixing the (#1) the election appeal provisions … but we have the FIX for (#2) Drew McKissick’s attempt to consolidate his “power” … 

… AND WE THANK #fireDREW FOR OPENING THE DOOR FOR US!!!

Had Drew McKissick not tried this “power play”, no one would be talking about this issue … and now EVERYBODY is, so thank your DREW!!!

First … look at what he is trying to do with H 4066:

It is clear what SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick is attempting to do with H4066 is to consolidate his “power” by taking delegates away from conservative “Republican” areas and spreading it around to smaller areas (where he has “personal” influence) and to DEMOCRAT areas of South Carolina.

THE FIX:

Fortunately, Drew McKissick’s crazy “power play” has now opened the door for us to FIX what is wrong with the legal representation structure of the SCGOP in the first place … and here are the two major fixes that are now being proposed:

It is clear what SCGOP Chairman Drew McKissick is attempting to do with H4066 is to consolidate his “power” by taking delegates away from conservative “Republican” areas and spreading it around to smaller areas (where he has “personal” influence) and to DEMOCRAT areas of South Carolina.

1. DELEGATE VOTER BASE AMENDMENT: H4066 takes convention delegates away from large counties and transfers them to small counties where Drew McKissick has more “personal” influence. Like the US House and SC House of Representatives, there is no +2 (current) or +3 (H4066 proposed) provided additional representation to smaller counties. Delegates should be based on actual party voters … the actual constituents of our representatives … and that can easily be done using the previous November’s “top of the ticket” voters (i.e., the Presidential race & SC Governor’s race). This is exactly how State Law already allocates PRECINCT DELEGATES (using “R” voters, not population).

2. STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AMENDMENT: Why does Greenville County with 108,222 Republican voters in the 2022 Governors race have 1 vote on the SCGOP State Executive Committee, while Allendale County which had 562 Republican voters in the same race have 1 vote? Greenville has literally 192 times more Republicans than Allendale, but the same representation one the State Executive Committee? That is clearly not fair and just on example of the inequities of the system designed to protect moderates. Like your local County Legislative Delegations, votes should be allocated (as with convention delegates, and as now done in the SC Senate having constituent based districts as opposed to one vote per county).

Drew McKissick’s GREEDY “Power Play” just may get this whole system FIXED for #WeThePeople!!!
