The Aiken Standard traces its origins to 1867 with publisher Rhonda Overbey and executive editor Michael Smith in leadership roles. Holly Kemp serves as news editor while Alistair Cooke’s Thought of the Day reflects on America as an inviting new land for travelers and settlers.
Editorial argues the North Carolina gubernatorial result should stand as Pat McCrory trails Roy Cooper by about 0.2 percent, noting a recount would be justified by law but questioning its value and urging acceptance of election results. It critiques Jill Stein and Hillary Clinton calls for presidential recounts and warns against prolonging divisive post election tensions.
Columnist Star Parker discusses Trinity Lutheran Church v Pauley as a high court test of religious liberty and equal protection. She links evangelical support for Trump to court appointments and argues government funding should not discriminate against faith based institutions.

The piece contrasts views on the Tea Party, judges, and one party rule, then shifts to praise of Len Scott and the One Table event in Aiken with thanks to volunteers and the City.
