Crossover Voters & Closed Primaries – A Prime Example
What are “Republican” legislators going to do about it?
You always hear Republican candidates (as well as folks seeking leadership within the Republican Party itself) talk endlessly during campaign season about the problem of crossover voting and the need for CLOSED PRIMARIES!!!
[NOTE: Basically the claim (and proven fact) is that Democrats crossover and vote in the June Republican Primaries for the WEAKEST Republican. If they can’t elect a Democrat in the November elections based in the political demographics of the district, they might as well elect a weak uniparty Republican willing to lie / pretend to be conservative.]
But once campaign season is over … you never hear a thing. Maybe it is because they are “working behind the scenes” … lol. We hear that excuse … A LOT!!! All talk but no action!!!
Well, it has been 20+ years for some of these people preaching “Closed Primaries” … with ZERO RESULTS … so we thought we would bring you two examples today as to why closed primaries are important for South Carolina.
Remember too … South Carolina is a REPUBLICAN SUPER MAJORITY state … we know Democrats don’t want closed primaries, Republicans are supposed to want closed primaries, so why can’t we get closed primaries?
PLUS, it is right there in our SC Republican Platform. Again, why can’t we get closed primaries?
“We believe political parties have the right to choose their nominees; therefore, we support primaries that are open only to registered voters of that political party.” – SC Republican Platform
CASE STUDIES
TWO CASE STUDIES: Some folks might think it is not really a big deal or that it doesn’t really happen that much … so we wanted to bring you two examples today of Democrat leaders that actually vote in the Republican Primaries.
If Democrat leaders are voting “Republican” … don’t you think they are encouraging mainstream Democrats to vote in the Republican Primaries as well?
We think these examples will wake up a few people.
EXAMPLE #1
RUSSELL STALL: Greenville City Councilman Russell Stall is a well known political Democrat. There is no disguising it … he is a far-left leaning Democrat, and he is pretty proud of it.
We don’t fault him for his political position as people are welcome to their opinions and beliefs even if we don’t agree … but we do find it interesting that he is listed in the SC Republican Party’s GOP Datacenter as a “HARD REPUBLICAN”. Even his wife and son are listed as “HARD REPUBLICANs” … but maybe they are, we just know that Dad is not!!!
Why does the GOP list Russell as a Hard Republican? Probably because he votes in every June Republican Primary … per our records back to 2000 … except for one!!!
It is absolutely incredible … but see below for yourself.
STALL VOTING RECORD:
EXAMPLE #2
FARRIS STEELE JOHNSON: Now this example is really good. Farris is an ultra-leftwing Democrat. There have been some controversial issues around Farris … but the key here is that Farris has figured out the crossover primary game.
In 2020 Farris ran as a Democrat for Greenville County Council. Farris filed for that election … as a Democrat in March 2020.
But three months later, in June 2020 … per the SCGOP records … Farris actually voted in the Republican Primary.
Farris actually voted again … per the SCGOP Records … in the June 2022 Republican Primaries. As we pointed out, Farris has figured out the crossover primary game.
So, the problem is not getting better … the problem is getting WORSE!!!
JOHNSON’S VOTING RECORD:
This is standard operating procedure in South Carolina politics. Democrats vote in the June Republican Primaries and pick the Republican nominee. It is a massive frustration for conservatives … and it is clearly one of the biggest reasons South Carolina is rated by CPAC as the most liberal red state in the nation.
Question is … what are “Republican” legislators going to do about it? Will they do anything? Why have some political “activists” claimed to be for closed primaries and it is their #1 issue … but we have seen no action for years? Do they really want to close the primaries? Makes you wonder …
Will a closed primaries bill pass in the 2024 SC Legislative Session? What is your guess?
Stay tuned … and get in the fight!!!
WAR ROOM – Part I – April 12th (HERE)
WAR ROOM – Part II – April 15th (HERE)
It was a clean sweep for the MAGA America First contingent at the Greenville County Republican Party (GCRP) Convention on Monday April 14th … with Jeff Davis (Chairman), Yvonne Julian (State EC) & Mike Voaden (1st Vice Chair) all winning by acclimation … and the MAGA America First slate of 90 State Delegates & all 90 State Alternates won in a landslide vote.
It could not have been a more textbook operation …
We will have the convention video posted later today … to include keynote speaker Steve Bannon of War Room, State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, Congresswoman Nancy Mace & WORD Host Bill Frady. Stay tuned …
However we do have the video from Jeff Davis’ follow-up appearance on WAR ROOM with Steve Bannon Tuesday morning following the GCRP Convention. (See both videos below.)
The Precinct Strategy
Dan Schultz’s Precinct Strategy works … and Greenville County is one of the prime national examples of how to make it work. Now we just need to DO IT in all 46 counties in South Carolina … and all 3,144 counties in the United States.
MAGA DREAMS BIG!!!
This is everything mySCGOP is about!!! We have taught the Precinct Strategy ever since rolling out on January 21st, 2021 … the day after BIDEN was inaugurated … to FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT back when it was the darkest days of the MAGA America First movement.
And ask yourself, “who” doesn’t like mySCGOP? RINOs maybe? Folks that do not want to be held accountable for their actions?
It is all very simple to see “who is who” … just watch “who” trashes mySCGOP on social media … or “who” cowers away from associating with mySCGOP … and that is your answer.

WAR R0OM &
the SC TRUMP AGENDA?
It is a quick 7 minutes and 46 seconds video … but if you want to hear someone tell it like it is here in South Carolina, listen to the below video from STEVE BANNON’s War Room this past Saturday.
We talked about South Carolina being rated the most liberal “Red State” in the Nation by CPAC, Lindsey Graham … Drew McKissick / Ronna McDaniel … School Choice & K-12 Education Failures in SC … and the fact South Carolina has the highest marginal tax rate in the entire southeast – and legislators lying to us about it!!!
The MAGA America First TRUMP agenda has skipped over South Carolina … and we need to clean it up down to the precinct roots – all 2,307 PRECINCTS!!! It’s time to completely start over with any elected officials that do not want to get on board the TRUMP TRAIN for real … and the countdown is below.

We had a great time with the gentlemen from Freedoms Fence-Line (HERE) & the Get’ta Steppin Podcast (HERE) last night. It was two hours of discussion in northern Spartanburg County, specifically Campabello, about “Jeff Davis”, Closed Primaries, Lobbyist, School Choice, the Newberry Lawsuit … how we fix this political mess we have in South Carolina (#NeverSURRENDER!!!) … the state of the SCGOP / Drew McKissick and a couple points about Drew’s mentor CHAD CONNELLY and how nobody has paid back the missing $275,406 misappropriated from K-12 children with special needs.
“Where is the $275,406 Attorney General Alan Wilson? “

FITSNews Video (4/1/2025): HERE
It may have been official before … but it is undeniable now … Treasurer Curtis Loftis is running for re-election!!! We could not be more excited because Curtis is literally the most popular elected official in the State of South Carolina … and he is one of, if not “the” most honest. If you want to know about the corruption going on in Columbia & with our State Government … listen to Curtis!!!
Here is just one quote from the FITSNews interview to explain it all – and quote that we could not agree with more (from our own personal experience):
“If you stand up to the power structure, you’re going to get hit.“
-Treasurer Curtis Loftis
And standing up to the power structure in Columbia is exactly what Curtis has done for the citizens of South Carolina since his inauguration on January 12th, 2011 … and like others that have stood up, Curtis has been beat up unmercifully over it.
Literally, right now, certain SC State Senators (more on “who & why” later – but hint: Larry Grooms & Stephen Goldfinch) are trying to pin a $1.8 BILLION accounting issue that has nothing to do with the Treasurer’s Office on Curtis. It is utter insanity … and we wrote about it back on February 10th (see HERE) … but it is Columbia & South Carolina Politics (and corruption – that we are determined to keep EXPOSING!!!)
Thank You Curtis Loftis!!!
A huge THANK YOU from the grassroots activists to Treasurer Curtis Loftis for sticking it out for another term for the citizens and taxpayers of South Carolina. We know you didn’t intend to run for another term … and would like to enjoy retirement … (like the rest of us!!!) … but once you see the CORRUPTION IN SOUTH CAROLINA, how do you walk away? Good men, like Curtis, can’t walk away. Neither can we!!!
Thank you sir for not walking away!!!
