Special RNC Members Meeting in Myrtle Beach

The Conservativist has learned that there will be a RNC Members Meeting next weekend in Myrtle Beach.  Speculation is that Katon Dawson is preparing to make his run for RNC Chair.

One insiders thoughts believed that Katon is a favorite now that the other front runners (Florida’s Jim Greer and Michigan’s Saul Anuzis) states turned blue on November 4th while South Carolina’s remained red.

Needless to say, this has Rick Beltram excited as it is known that the state chair is what he has been loathing over the past few years.

Low and Behold, Michael Reese will get the resignation he called for in the SHJ editorials.  So who will be the brave soul to step in and lead the Spartanburg County GOP?

Election Day Nightmare

Turn out in Spartanburg county is at its largest ever. Three hour waits at most precints and one precint only utilizing a quarter of it’s voting capability.

New electronic voter sign in process seems to be main culprit of backup. Many voters are being left frustrated at the polls while others are leaving.

The one thing we don’t understand, it has been known for months that this would be one of the largest turnouts ever, why in the hell wasn’t the election commission more prepared.
