Belangia sees his primary mission to be insuring elections are fair. The hottest current topic is the new state law that requires voters to present a photo ID in addition to a registration card prior to being allowed to cast a ballot.
Republicans believe the requirement is necessary to ensure only people eligible to vote in a particular precinct are who they say they are. Democrats claim the law discriminates against the elderly and others who do not have a drivers license or a photo ID card issued by the Highway Department.

Greenville Tea Party and Ron Paul Reps Met Bachmann’s Bus at Clinton
“We can’t afford this Congress. We can’t afford this President. We can’t afford this tax code,” presidential candidate Michele Bachmann told a crowd of about 300 Wednesday on the parking lot of Hollywood 20 Cinemas on Woodruff Road.
Bachmann, who represents Minnesota’s sixth district, said: “It’s time to make Barack Obama a one-term president.” Before she spoke, she was endorsed by Bill Rhodes, founder of the Greenville Tea Party. “This is our candidate,” Rhodes said. “We are behind her 100 percent.”
Bachmann sandwiched the Greenville appearance between events in Lexington and Rock Hill. Rhodes and local Ron Paul spokesman Chris Lawton met Bachmann’s bus and boarded it at a rest stop near Clinton.

Rep. Doug Brannon Substituted for Rep. Rita Allison Invited by RINO Hunt
State Representative Doug Brannon, who represents House District 38 in Northern Spartanburg County, is an attorney, however, he found himself a defendant before a roomful of RINO Hunt members acting like prosecutors at Denny’s in Greenville, Friday night.
Brannon is one of the “Spar-tanburg-Six,” a group of Spartanburg County Republican House members who joined with Democrats and voted to table and kill the school choice bill supported by the SC GOP Platform. The six Republican House members provided an ideal “textbook” example of what is wrong with the Republican Party and must be corrected if the party is to regain credibility with voters. In this instance, six Republicans from one county were able to destroy several years of work by South Carolina Republicans and provide a key victory for Obama Democrats with one vote.
