RichCo Election Commission Creates Position for McBride

The woman who took "full responsibility" for the botched Richland County elections has been offered a new position.

Lillian McBride, who submitted her resignation as Executive Director to the Richland County Election Commission last week, has been recommended by the commission for a new slot.

According to WLTX, McBride has been recommended by the five-member group for the newly created position of Deputy Director. It comes with a salary of about $74,000, which is about $15,000 less than what she made in her previous job.

McBride's appointment is subject to the approval of Interim Commission Chair Dr. Jasper Salmond.
