Nevada Republican State Delegates File Suit Against State Party

RENO, NV, July 18, 2008—Nevada State Republican delegates have filed a complaint in Second Judicial District Court late this evening, contending that the Nevada Republican Executive Committee’s decision to appoint national delegates is in violation of State law.  The complaint alleges that the GOP’s decision to appoint delegates to the Republican National Convention violates NRS 293 because state delegates have been deprived of their ability to select national delegates at a convention.  

“The State Executive Committee announced yesterday that they won’t bring the Nevada State Republican Convention out of recess,” said Wayne Terhune, a Republican activist in Washoe County.  “They shut down the Convention in April, and now they aren’t giving delegates a chance to have their voices heard.  This is a violation of the law.”

The complaint alleges that the State Executive Committee’s decision is in violation of NRS 293, which states: “In addition to such powers granted it, the state convention shall select the necessary delegates and alternates to the national convention of the party”.  The complaint has been filed by local attorney Mark Goodman on behalf of several Nevada State Republican delegates.

Mike Weber, a local Republican who has served on the National Republican Rules Committee, announced early today that he is shifting the focus of his State Assembly race to make sure that the state delegates have their voices heard.  “Most Republicans are getting fed up with party leaders because of underhanded tactics instead of principled leadership,” he said in a press release. “The announcement that national delegates will be appointed by a small group behind closed doors only reinforces this distrust.”

“The actions of the State Party are taking away the voice of every state delegate,” said Terhune.  “Over a thousand delegates attended the convention in April, and the State Executive party officials are attempting to silence all of them.  This is completely against the traditions of the Republican Party and the United States of America.”
