Monday morning a process server made his way to both the SCGOP and the SCDP offices to serve letters of protest of the primary elections in the state senate district 35 primary. The protest brought by five citizens and registered voters from the district alleges that both parties have ignored the law and both Supreme Court rulings and certified illegal candidates who then remained on the ballot during the June 4th primary.

This ongoing battle has become a stain on the election process as voter turn out was at historic lows.

Both the republicans and the democrats have gone out of their way to ignore the court and now face a protest from voters. The protest letters force the state parties to hold hearings in which both sides will present their cases.

Chad Conelly's minion Matt Moore was the official from the SCGOP who was served. Matt was not happy about this.  After seeing this writer's name on the protest, he told the process server,"Tell Jeff to quit harassing Chad on the Internet." Sounds like I have been hitting a nerve. Matt, sometimes the truth hurts.
Chad Conelly and Dick Harpootlian are up to their eyeballs in this scandal. The are the elected to lead the party and part of their duties are to make sure all county parties follow the rule of law.

The fact that certain county parties did not follow the supreme court requirements is not just some rogue party chairmen but actions sanctioned by the state party chairmen and their staffs. The two parties have not lived up to the letter of the law and must be held accountable. Our elections and the faith of the people are on the line.

Our Republic relies on a fair and honest elections to survive. If it were not for citizens standing up these two parties, they would have stolen an election and gotten away with breaking the law.

We will see what the two chairmen will do as hearings will be scheduled on Thursday.

Stay tuned as the Votergate scandal continues to unfold.
