Trip to the RNC falls on no ears
This past May, I filed a complaint against Drew McKissick with the RNC Council because of the sickening level of corruption in the SCGOP. But they have ignored my request for a hearing.
Conservatism, freedom and free speech
I have dared to question our county party after they sided with the SCGOP on disenfranchising the duly elected Pickens County delegation and subsequently suspended the Pickens GOP with the Lexington County vote in the affirmative.
John, Sarah Grace and I were then greeted with a surprise censure resolution from our Lexington GOP leadership. The censure added a bunch of extra issues because we dared to run a campaign for county convention leadership.
TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY
In an interview with The Post and Courier, former Darlington County GOP chairman, Senator JD Chaplin, is quoted saying, “Arthur missed her opportunity to become a delegate because she was arguing with a fellow attendee in the parking lot after a resounding defeat in her bid to lead the local convention.”
Darlington joins other counties in rigging the SCGOP election
The officers of the Darlington County Republican Party who participated in rigging the delegate election process are: JD Chaplin, Dawn Calhoun, John Crawley, and Colin Hungerpiller.
SCGOP changes words to skirt the law, and their own rules.
In 2023, the Precinct ReOrganization Form 1, please see highlighted sentence beside the third box. It reads: I did not attend my make-up meeting but wish to be elected as a Delegate to the County Party Convention per State Party Rule 4-c-11.
The SCGOP is not above the law
1) I attended the Darlington County Republican Party (DCRP) ReOrganization meeting on March 22, 2025;
2) I properly filled out Form 1, indicating my intent to run as a delegate to the 2025 SCGOP State Convention by marking the Delegate to State Convention box;
An open letter to Attorney General Alan Wilson
Because you are the Chief Legal Officer of the State, I am writing to inform you of South Carolina Republican Party’s violations of South Carolina Code of Laws, Title 7, Chapter 9, by the officers of the Darlington County Republican Party (DCRP), JD Chaplin, Dawn Calhoun, John Crawley, and Colin Hungerpiller. I have witnessed actions that undermine the integrity of the Party’s delegate election process.
Drew McKissick and the illegal delegate slates
Republicans, the issue at hand is the illegal delegate slates that have pushed through by corrupt county officers who are beholden to Chairman Drew McKissick. Delegates who wanted to go to the state convention have been robbed of their rights of an election because McKissick wants to win at all costs.
