“Regardless of political orientation and candidate preferences, voters in Pickens County have been denied a choice in who represents them in elected offices in Pickens County as well as in Columbia”, stated Harry Kibler the Founder of RINO Hunt.

Kibler further stated, “The Legislature has failed us, the Courts have failed us and the Parties have failed us.  The only power left to intervene on the behalf of the voters is the voters themselves”.

Volunteers are needed to help right the wrong that has been cast upon the voters of Pickens County and South Carolina.  Disenfranchised voters need to know they still have an opportunity to reinstate fair elections in South Carolina by signing petitions for decertified candidates.

Operation Lost Vote is a non-partisan effort to restore as many candidates as possible to the November ballot regardless of political party affiliation.   More information can be found at www.OperationLostVote.org
