Republicans Petition for New Meetings
BY: HOOD RICHARDSON
Republicans have signed a petition requesting the State Republican Party order the Beaufort County Republican Party to hold new Precinct Meetings and a County Convention. Petitioners contend there were serious errors made in calling Precinct Meetings and in conducting the Beaufort County Convention held during March of 2026. The petition was signed by about 24 registered Republicans.
In addition, a complaint was sent to the North Carolina Republican Party by certified mail on March 2, 2026, signed by 15 registered Republicans stating that the rules set out in the Plan of Organization were not being followed in so far as the Precinct Meetings were concerned.
One of the allegations is that Queen Garris did not adequately advertise Precinct Meetings in such a way as to give all Republicans in Beaufort County the opportunity to attend meetings. Queen Garris imposed her rule that unless the Republicans attended the Precinct Meetings, they were not eligible to attend the County Convention. The rules of the party clearly state this is not true.
False and misleading information was presented by the Convention Chairman, Michelle Nix from Lenoir County. Nix made summary judgments regarding five resolutions that were proper according to the rules of the State Rules (Plan of Organization). All resolutions properly presented under the Rules of the Convention must be heard by the Convention. This is demagoguery of the worst kind. Nobody has to be a genius to realize the only way to get the existing rules changed is to submit rules that do not conform to the existing Plan of Organization. However, these resolutions were to require Queen Garris to follow the rules already in existence.

Duh. It is Republicans asking questions from elitists pretending to be the Republican Party. Yeah, this is really screwed up. If the elitists really cared about the Republican Party, they would come clean. It is clear that will not happen, because it will incriminate them. This is where you end up after doubling down on lie after lie after lie.
By the way, 'Hood is the boogieman!' is not a defense. |

Mr. Richardson, would love a return to issues but your focus of every article is to attack the Republican Party.

Irrational Observer, Focus on the issue not the personality. You should have learned this in the third grade.

Well I can certainly be forgiven for not recognizing Mr Richardson as a Republican as he's changed his affiliation no less than 11 times and routinely endorses non-Republicans.

Oh, the irony. Instead of responding to the complaint from concerned Republicans, RO is attacking Republicans asking questions.
How about responding to the complaint. While you are at it check on the status of that very late Victory Committee report owed to the elected Executive Committee. |

Here's truth ... of the last 33 articles you wrote ... 33 out of 33 attacked Republicans with ZERO attacking Democrats. You portrayed yourself of as a victim in 33 out of 33 articles. You named slightly more than 35 individuals that you claim are liars or wronged you. You never once admitted any mistakes on your own behalf. Out of the 33 articles only 2 touched on actual issues (taxes) and you STILL focused those articles on attacking Republicans. You wouldn't know truth sir if it smacked you in the face.

Attending a meeting you have a right to attend and asking relevant questions about committee functions can only be interpreted as disrupting a meeting by those that have something to hide.
RO is not telling the truth about the people that signed the petition. Defending a position with lies is not much of a defense. |
