Colorado GOP officials say meeting to oust them is illegal
Raw StoryThe head of a faction of Colorado Republicans insists that a scheduled vote on whether to oust state party leaders is legal, even as party leaders say otherwise. Party executives determined last week that the meeting is “illegal.” “I assure you that the meeting was legally and properly called in accordance with our bylaws and procedures,” Watkins, vice chair of the El Paso County Republican Party and a State Central Committee member, said in an email to members of the committee. The central item on the meeting agenda is a vote on whether to boot former state Rep. Dave Williams as chair of the Colorado Republican Party. An executive committee decision document, shared by Williams with Newsline, says party officials were unable to properly verify the names of voting members who signed onto the special meeting request. The executive committee made the decision after party members Tim Leonard and Ted Harvey formally challenged the validity of the Watkins-led call for a special meeting.
