Nevada's Republican Party

Seriously? You thought you could just call an executive meeting and pick whatever delegates you like, without any regard to the delegates actually elected with much fanfare earlier this year?

As I understand it, the delegates we elected have to choose the national delegates according to state law. That's not something you can ignore when it's inconvenient. Better to have no delegates than to be "represented" by those chosen with no more than a farcical nod to democracy.

"Disarry" has been used often of the Republicans this election cycle. I think it's totally apt. And I hope the lawsuit against the state Republican party manages to uphold the rule of law, not the rule of whims.
