LRL Episode 005 - The Thin Blue Margin

Send us a text

In Elloree, the difference between transparency and corruption isn’t a sweeping movement — it’s a handful of ballots. Episode 5: "The Thin Blue Margin" explores how just four votes once determined the town’s leadership and how your vote can either reinforce the old guard or usher in a culture of accountability and progress.

Krista and Tim examine the risk of empowering entrenched insiders like Kelly Ulmer and the opportunity to restore trust and integrity under Allen Reeves. Because in small-town America, democracy isn’t fragile by accident — it’s fragile by negligence.

Plus, the big reveal: as the release of Gibbs' forthcoming book nears, Left Right and Local shifts into a full investigative true-crime serial — bringing intrigue, testimony, and first-hand insight into the systems and personalities shaping rural justice in South Carolina and beyond.

The line is thin. The margin is real. The truth is coming.
