McKissick whips Wood in South Carolina GOP race
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Source: Politco
Pro-Trump lawyer Lin Woods bid to bring chaos to South Carolinas GOP was halted on Saturday when he failed to unseat the partys chairman after baselessly accusing the incumbent of voter fraud and a host of other slurs.
Chairman Drew McKissicks reelection was not in doubt among knowledgeable Republicans who say the party delegate rules favor longtime insiders. Wood, an accomplished trial lawyer from Georgia who turned into a conspiracy theorist, moved this year from Georgia and mounted an unexpectedly strong candidacy for a complete outsider.
McKissick beat Wood by a final vote of 68-28 percent at the low-key socially distanced convention in Columbia, where coronavirus social distancing rules prevented the delegates from meeting in one large hall something Wood pushed for to take advantage of his fire-breathing, crowd-riling style. Votes were held in satellite meetings throughout the states 46 counties.
Drew is a cheater, Wood, without evidence, said to his huge following on Telegram before the vote. If he wins today, he will be a Fake Chairman just like Biden is a Fake President!

It's like the GOP regressed to a pre-kindergarten level of discourse.
