SCGOP names anti-voter Kincannon executive director

The Palmetto Scoop is reporting Mr. Anti-voter Todd Kincannon is in line to become the South Carolina Republican Party's executive director. Kincannon is going to replace Ryan Meerstein, who has served as Floyd’s right-hand man since she became chairman in May.

But why do I call him Mr. Anti-voter? Here's why...

Three absentee voter precincts were set to be open on Monday, allowing eligible absentee voters in North Augusta, Wagener and Aiken select a convenient office.

However this all changed thanks to the input, a letter, from one man - Todd Kincannon. So who is this Greenville County native who has taken an interest in Aiken County election politics?


An "avid gun collector" and strong gun laws supporter, Kincannon now gets a key position in the state party that only caters to a certain demographic - that's it. Who cares about voters, right? He now can use his title to basically effect every county in S.C.

On the eve of opening the three sites, however, a challenge to the action was made by an out-of-county attorney and it was determined not to open the sites. Todd Kincannon, parliamentarian for the state Republican Party, protested opening the absentee balloting locations in North Augusta, Wagener and at Kalmia Mall in Aiken. The decision not to open those sites makes it that much more difficult for the poor and the aged who qualify for absentee voting to do so. That is unfortunate.


It truly is.
