Georgia 2026 Election Results to Be Aggregated in Secret Bunker -- SOS Refusal to Allow State Election Board Observers Violates Law
- Details
- By Press Release
ATLANTA — Georgia’s 2026 election results will be aggregated on Election Night by Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from a “secret bunker” which is off limits to candidates, the public and even to State Election Board (SEB) members who have requested access. The secret aggregation of election results is a clear violation of state election transparency law which requires all election officials to conduct all election activities in public. The law specifically states:
“Superintendents, poll officers, and other officials engaged in the conducting of primaries and elections held under this chapter shall perform their duties in public.” O.C.G.A. § 21-2-406
Chairman’s Corner: 2027 Budget & Public Safety
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
I believe Sheriff Lewis and I have genuine mutual respect for one another. Just recently, we were together during a Citizens Academy class at the Law Enforcement Center (mentioned in my Substack), talking with the class about how the media loves to turn routine governance into some kind of dramatic showdown.
We are both elected leaders doing the jobs we were each chosen to do, and sometimes those jobs put us on opposite sides of a budget ledger, even when we share the exact same goal.
A safe, thriving Greenville County.
I also want to be crystal clear before we go any further, that nothing in this newsletter is an attack on the Sheriff, his deputies, or this agency.
What it is, is the full picture. The data, the context, and the honest conversation that you deserve to have.
The Political Hot Potato: AI Data Centers

- By Patti Johnson - American Policy Center
Political Backlash
Alarm bells are sounding across the USA on one of the hottest bipartisan issues of the 2026 elections: AI data centers. Voters from both parties are united in their opposition, and many are heading to the polls with this question front and center: Will this candidate actually protect and represent us, or sell out to Big Tech and its massive AI data centers? In Florida, this growing backlash is hitting especially hard, as residents watch Rep. Byron Donalds’ gubernatorial campaign get flooded with millions from AI billionaires eager to turn the Sunshine State into their next profit playground at the expense of our water, air, power bills, and quality way of life.
Budget Should Prioritize Law Enforcement and Public Safety
- Details
- By Greenville County Councilman Steve Shaw
Council should prioritize public safety and roads. Increase prioritization of the Greenville County Sheriff's Office can help with both.
The Sheriff has presented Council with figures showing that we are losing deputies to other departments. A strong contributing factor is compensation disparity between county, city, and state opportunities.
My experience with Council is that it is very status quo with the budget.
Republicans Claw Their Way Back into the Midterms with Polling and Redistricting Surge

- By Suzanne Bowdey - The Washington Stand
They’re building a 110-foot Ferris wheel on the National Mall, but maybe a roller coaster would be more appropriate. That’s what Americans have been riding when it comes to Congress. The two sides keep trading places on the midterm election desperation scale, and with six months to go, everything is as fluid as the Potomac. But considering where the GOP was just three weeks ago, that’s a major improvement.
Republicans, who barely had a political heartbeat heading into November, were brought back to life by twin court rulings — one that struck down Virginia Democrats’ appalling new congressional map and another that ended the practice of racial gerrymandering that hamstrung the GOP in southern states for decades. And while Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) party is breathing a collective sigh of relief, the reality is this: if Congress were a popularity contest, there would be no winners right now. Both parties have significant optics problems, and judging by voters’ disillusionment with Washington, solving them will be tough.
Communitarianism: The Evil Unleashed on America PT 2 the Montana Water Rights Protection Act

There is a myriad of ways to take our property – and the “powers-that-be are using them and more that they just make up on the spot.
We’ve written about many in our Workbook, in Tom DeWeese’s Sustainable, and in scores of articles. And in more ways than most of us could ever conceive of an act being pulled-off, for instance killing hundreds of ostriches because a couple of years earlier two had been ill but recovered. In fact, the government of Canada had them shot! Another example is capturing” CO2 from atmosphere and compressing and storing it in geological formations. I won’t even get into what could go wrong or, even more, how absurd it is to take CO2 from the atmosphere where we and plants thrive on it.
Many people do not realize that “property” is more than land or a house. Your clothes, your written words, the food in your house and the gas in your car are your property. And your children. Don’t think those taking other forms of your property won’t touch your children.
