Nevada Republican Follies

Remember when I posted the other day about the Nevada Republican Party executive board planning to pick delegates and scuttle the state convention? Well, it appears more than two dozen delegates are suing the party over this. They claim the decision violates the law:

Those who signed onto the lawsuit, filed Friday in Washoe County District Court in Reno, included Wayne Terhune, a Ron Paul supporter who helped to organize a renegade state convention in June after the party’s April convention was abruptly shut down.

While many of the delegates to the April convention who joined in the lawsuit were Paul backers, Terhune said Monday that others are supporters of John McCain, the party’s presumptive presidential nominee, and the litigation “is not a Ron Paul lawsuit.”

He noted that others who joined in the lawsuit included McCain supporter Mike Weber, who said in a news release about the suit that he wants to make sure the state delegates have their voices heard.

Zachary Moyle, executive director of the state party, said Monday he hadn’t been served with a copy of the litigation and in any case “I can’t comment on any impending lawsuit.”
