GAGOP Ballot Controversy: Josh McKoon’s Control vs. Delegate Power

Chair­man Josh McK­oon push­es elec­tion integri­ty but could be behind the rig­ging of the par­ty bal­lot to favor his pre­ferred can­di­dates. The exclu­sion of can­di­dates like Lisa Pierce, a sea­soned Upton Coun­ty chair, and Kylie Kre­mer, denied bal­lot access despite time­ly sub­mis­sions by March 15, due to vague resume rules. McKoon’s tactics—using Travis Bow­den for attacks and plau­si­ble deni­a­bil­i­ty.

Del­e­gates aim to “drain the swamp,” frus­trat­ed by McKoon’s com­pli­ance with law­mak­ers and his life­long politi­cian sta­tus, seek­ing instead to make law­mak­ers account­able to the par­ty. JaQuon Stem­bridge, a can­di­date, vows active engage­ment over mere title-bear­ing. McK­oon claims cred­it for Trump’s win but avoids ful­ly endors­ing him pub­licly. The text argues for open can­di­da­cy, insist­ing del­e­gates, not McK­oon, should decide the party’s lead­er­ship.

• Deb­bie Doo­ley it is too ear­ly to pan­ic. 
• The can­di­dates that the GAGOP Inc were avail­able for the del­e­gates to vote on. Josh wants to tell you the most impor­tant thing is to have elec­tion integri­ty in GA. Elec­tion integri­ty also includes the GAGOP bal­lot, right? When BKP ran for state GOP office, he nev­er served in any GOP office on the coun­ty or dis­trict lev­el. After BKP became a can­di­date, only then did he serve on the res­o­lu­tions com­mit­tee for the 9th dis­trict. 
• Now if Josh could find a way David Cross would not be on the bal­lot. Look at David Cross’ resume if he was involved in the GOP before the state office. We are now in the place where it will nev­er hap­pen again. 
• Josh uses plau­si­ble deni­a­bil­i­ty when pos­si­ble. Josh goes to Travis Bow­den to make the calls to do the bash­ing. Josh wants the bal­lot to look a cer­tain way to get the can­di­dates that he could work with and not have oppo­si­tion, maybe like Zelen­sky. 
• We are deter­mined to drain the swamp. Josh is pre­pared, in the neutered GOP, to fol­low law­mak­ers and do as he is told, because he is a life­long politi­cian. The del­e­gates want to reverse things to have the state law­mak­ers respect the GOP and no longer fol­low them as have the law­mak­ers do their jobs as repub­li­cans. 
• We have done the entire sto­ry for first vice chair with Lisa Pierce. She has been Upton Co chair with­in her dis­trict in the state of GA. But for some­how some way they denied her bal­lot access and she is not on the bal­lot for first vice chair. 
• Josh’s slate is Salleigh Grubbs for 1st vice chair, Bet­sy Kramer for 2nd Vice Chair, Jeff for Trea­sur­er, Sec­re­tary is Suzi Voyles and Asst Sec­re­tary is Car­o­line Jef­fords. There was a time that Car­o­line was try­ing to shut down Josh McK­oon but then flipped her attacks. 
• Now JaQuon has said that he is not some­one to just wear a name tag and do the work… hum?
• The cut off for intent to run for office for the GAGOP state office and resume on March 15 at 5pm. There was no guid­ance for the intent or resume or that it had to be 2 sep­a­rate doc­u­ments. Kylie sent in her intent and resume at 4:54pm on March 15th. And like Lisa Pierce, it took 9 days she was denied access to the bal­lot. Josh McK­oon, Alex Kauf­man, John White, Justin Rice copied on email. She was denied due to her polit­i­cal resume. 
• Now Josh will brag that he sin­gle hand­ed­ly swooped in and won the elec­tion for Don­ald Trump, but what you don’t hear is his open full sup­port for Don­ald Trump.
• Now it is Amer­i­ca, any­one that wants to run for office should be able to run for office. Let the del­e­gates decide.
