It’s OK to Question Media.

Anderson’s Independent-Mail newspaper published an interesting truth today that we frankly wish we’d seen first.

The article claims that Jerry Edwards, one of the owners of the Seneca Daily Journal newspaper has some potential voting issues.

It seems that although Edwards is a Pickens County resident, he cast his June 2008 primary election absentee ballot in Walhalla which is in Oconee County.

According to the Anderson paper, this is not the first incident of personal voting irregularity. In the 2008 presidential preference primary, Edwards allegedly voted using the Seneca address of his business interests as his residential address.

That’s the truth.

TRUTH UPDATE: The Seneca Daily Journal confirmed the story on its web site today. See: http://www.upstatetoday.com/news/2008/jun/10/election-appeal-filed/.

Who’s Taking Over?

For the past few years, Tim Cameron operated ShotPolitics.com.

At times he reported news. Other times he reported rumors. Other times, he reported information beneficial to his employer’s client base.

Among his chief criticisms has been the involvement of third-party organizations in South Carolina issues and elections.

According to a post today, Tim is moving out-of-state to be web manager for Newt Gingrich’s “American Solutions” group.

This brings up a few questions that we don’t know the answers to, and we want to know the truth.

  1. Now that Tim is going to work for a 527 organization, will he continue being critical of 501(c)(4) groups who exist for the same purpose as his new employer?
  2. Who, if anyone, will maintain ShotPolitics.com?

What’s the truth? We’ll update you when we find out what it is.
