The city of Charleston, South Carolina has just elected a new mayor. William Cogswell has been elected as the first Republican mayor of the city since the 1800s, if you can believe it.
WCBD News reports:
William Cogswell elected mayor of Charleston
Voters in Charleston have chosen former State Representative William Cogswell to lead the city as its next mayor.
Unofficial results from the South Carolina Election Commission show Cogswell defeated incumbent John Tecklenburg, earning about 51 percent of the vote in Tuesday’s runoff election.
..... Snip.....
The last Republican mayor of Charleston was George I. Cunningham who left office in 1877.

I am shocked. Especially since Charleston is such an International city now. Very telling.
“I enjoy listening to Bongino.”
So do I. I’m glad he’s the one who took over Rush’s time slot in this area.
“Unofficial results”
IOW, the cheat isn’t finished yet.
I thought the same. I pray the results stand.

There is also this:

Great news...however, did they find any ballots in car trunks at 4 am?
If you’re in Charleston looking for a place to eat, I highly recommend Fleet Landing. Food’s great and you can see Fort Sumpter from the deck.
His opponent, the former mayor: Tecklenburg, who was seeking his third term in office, conceded the race late Tuesday.
The worm, yes she does turn!
Charleston's history is the bedrock of the city's economy. It is the very DNA of what makes the Holy City so unique. Over the past eight years, Mayor John Tecklenburg has continually attacked this treasured history, aided by extremist activists from off. First, he advocated for the erection of editorial plaques, masquerading as history, at many of the city's monuments. Second, he became an extension of the violent mob that sacked King Street when he led the charge to rip down and jackhammer the grand monument of U.S. Vice-President John C. Calhoun. Third, he took unilateral action (no vote by city council) to remove the Robert E. Lee memorial from Upper King Street which Attorney General Alan Wilson stated was a violation of state law. Charleston is America's grandest outdoor museum, the centerpiece of which is our treasured monuments. In Charleston, we remember our forefathers, we remember our veterans, we remember our dead. But today, today remember what Mayor Tecklenburg has done.
Fleet Landing is decent family fare with a nice view of the Harbor and Ft Sumter. From where I live I see the sun rise over the Fort every morning.
What Tecklenburg did is absolutely horrible. I feel sorry for you and all who lived under his despotic shadow.
Sounds like whatever monuments were torn down need to be rebuilt bigger and better than before.
Let’s hope it’s a trend.
