The joke starts like this but it was no joke. This man did walk into a voting booth and there was no council race on his ballot. But here is the punchline…..he was on the ticket and couldn’t even vote for himself.

Radio interview about the SC elections
In this radio interview with More than Medicine (see link below) our team leader Laura Scharr discusses the mission, goals and accomplishments of SC Safe Elections and also why the election integrity bill just signed into law doesn’t go far enough.

The SEC is not allowing the public access to Cast Vote Records
The cast vote records show the timing of votes as they come in for each candidate in a race for a county, precinct or state. These have been distributed to the public via FOIA Freedom of Information Requests in 24 states. Our state of SC is refusing access to these reports because they claim there is publicly identifiable information (PII). This is incorrect. These reports do NOT have any PII.
Some concerned legislators have joined us in asking the AG’s office to reverse an opinion from 2020 just prior to the election that these reports should be disallowed. Here are some related articles.
Thanks to the GP and the New American for covering this story.
Are we in a Color Revolution?
Laura and Keith from SC Safe Elections discuss our current climate and how we are likely in the midst of an orange revolution and an orange revolution in reverse. We also discuss that we are at the “precipice.” How can we survive the next few months as we move through the precipice.

Taking Back Our Freedom: Elections Not Selections
URGENT ELECTION INTEGRITY UPDATE
SITUATION: SC Safe Elections is a grassroots citizens group dedicated to elections that are transparent, simple and secure. While we appreciate the election integrity measures set into place by S108/Act 150, failure to comply with law renders law useless. It is our goal to restore confidence in the SC election process from start to finish by finding holes in compliance and delivering effective strategies for fixing them. The following observations and data, from reliable witnesses in your districts, demand further urgent action on the part of our elected officials and representatives.
CANVASSING OF 2020 ELECTION: We canvassed 8 major counties in South Carolina and found a high rate of deceased registered voters (many of whom voted), people who had relocated (but still voted), people registered to commercial addresses, and people who voted but whose vote wasn’t counted. These findings, highly indicative of fraud, were delivered to SLED. No action has been taken.

2022 PRIMARY: We mobilized 40 citizens and created an “Election Defense System” of poll observation and other activities in several counties and documented pervasive anomalies that generated affidavits. Here are our findings:
- SC State Election Commission did not follow the SC election laws (7-13-35, 7-13-60, 7-13-72, 7-13-100, 7-13-710, 7-13-1750, 7-13-1770)
- Machine glitches flipped votes from one candidate to another in many counties
- Tamper resistant seals were voided or missing on “certified” machines
- Poor or NO chain of custody practices were observed with ballots, equipment, and thumb drives
- Races were missing from ballots due to redistricting
- Same-day voter photo IDs issued without proper document proof
- Absentee ballot envelopes were examined for signature verification day of receipt and in secret

ES&S MACHINES: Our cyber experts have done a thorough investigation on the ES&S systems and found over 100 vulnerabilities for both the 2020 version as well as the system used in the June 2022 primary. Proprietary agreements between the SEC and ES&S (which were NOT approved and certified by the Secretary of State) violate the SC Constitution requirement that our ballots are to be cast in secret but not counted in secret. Delegating final counts to an off-shore foreign entity, SCTYL, in a black box environment where encryption, shuffling and mixing occurs is also suspect.

STONEWALLING DISCOVERY: Analysis of the Cast Vote Records (CVRs) from the 2020 General Election would allow our experts to decipher whether a thorough audit is necessary. Our attempts at acquiring the CVRs via FOIA have been thwarted by the SEC’s insistence that such records might contain voters’ personally identifiable information, an argument upheld by an opinion letter dated 9/28/2020 from the Office of the Attorney General. If the ballot images or CVRs do contain personally identifiable information, the SEC, charged with maintaining the secrecy of the ballot, has mismanaged the elections so as to nullify the results. This possibility, then, must also be investigated.
URGENT ENTREATIES:
- FILE an Injunction or otherwise stop any deletion/purging of 2020 election data.
- Acquire CVRs for 2020 general election and 2022 primary.
- Eliminate electronic voting. Safe and effective alternatives are at our disposal.
- Require substantive end to end audit of votes cast for every primary and general election.
- Hold lawbreakers accountable and reconstitute the SEC.
We are subject matter experts. Work with us for true election integrity in South Carolina.
Taking Back our Freedom: Elections Not Selections
Attached below is our whitepaper summarizing our group’s progress over the last almost two years. We have an amazing group of dedicated passionate citizens who have worked tirelessly to accomplish these tasks. Please share this far and wide and educate everyone through both personal contacts, neighborhood or county meetings, or meeting with your local senator or representative. Everyone needs to better understand the issues and complexity of our current system. Complexity breeds corruption.
We also provide recommendations regarding how to create a better, simpler system that is more transparent.
Something is rotten in Greenville-SC State GOP pulls power play and reverses the will of the Greenville GOP
County council candidate Joe Dill discusses his experience with his primary results, how he contested the results and the power plays that ensued that led the GOP to overturn the local Greenville GOP decision to let him have a new race.
He also talks about several people who had their votes “flipped” while voting in Greenville. Can we trust our complex voting process?
America First Candidates Contest Race Results
We recently spoke with the Dream Team of America First candidates about their experience with contesting their races due to illegalities and maladministration regarding the June 14th South Carolina Primary.
They talk about how they were not given the courtesy of time and proper procedures as well as that their own party was completely antagonistic. It is a shocking testimony to the state of affairs we are in.
Observations from the SC primary
Pat T. discusses how she tried to collect information and observe the primary voting process in Lexington County. Some interesting observations. Counties weren’t following the law with regard to examining the absentee envelopes and she saw an interesting anomaly when she observed the absentee tabulation.
Question for the audience: Have you ever voted in an election and just voted for one down ballot candidate?
Me neither.
And below Nancy P. describes the issues she witnessed during her voting experience as well as her role as a poll manager.
There were several concerning issues including vote flipping, precincts moved for a large percentage of the people who came to that poll location and broken/voided security seals.
