As a duly qualified state delegate candidate, I declare that I was disenfranchised by the actions of the leadership of the CCRP and left out of the electoral process to become an SCGOP state convention delegate at the Charleston County April 2025 Convention.

At the 2025 SCGOP Precinct ReOrg, many conservatives—including myself—checked this box on Form-1 (shown below) to be considered as a State Delegate to the SCGOP Convention.

✅ I'd like to run to be a delegate from my county to the 2025 State Republican Party Convention. AND attest that I voted in 2 of the last 3 statewide GOP primaries. Place my name on the ballot at the County Convention as (PRINT):

________________________________________________________________________

✅ I was eligible.
✅ I was on the ballot.
❌ But my right to be individually voted on was taken away.

What Should Have Happened:
Delegates to the Charleston County Convention arrived fully expecting to vote on the 495 eligible candidates individually by ballot—checking boxes on the paper ballot as practiced in the past. The top 70 would become State Delegates. The next 70 would become Alternates.

What Actually Happened:
The acting County Chair suddenly called for a slate vote by a vague “yay/nay” voice—not an individual ballot vote. This violated convention rules, which require a 2/3 vote for such a change. No opposing slate was presented. No debate. No count. No accountability. No fairness.

I demand transparency, accountability, and voting consistent with the spirit and intent of SCGOP rules!

The below are excerpts from SCGOP Bylaws Rule 2:

Rule2

(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....

(g) These Rules may be amended only by the State Convention by a two-thirds (2/3) vote of the total number of delegates registered and approved for that convention or reconvened convention.
