Las Vegas, NV: Nevada Republican Party Chairman Sue Lowden issued the following statement:
“We hoped there would be enough credentialed delegates to complete business, but we have not received enough RSVP’s for a quorum,” stated Chairman Sue Lowden. “With so many people concerned about the economy, it simply wouldn’t fair for us to ask delegates from all over the state to spend money to attend a convention if we know that a quorum won’t be present.”
“We have had dozens of requests for mail in ballots and numerous delegates have requested that the Executive Board make the decision to appoint delegates. The State Party has called a special Executive Board meeting for Friday, July 25th to resolve this issue.”
A record number of delegates were credentialed at the 2008 Nevada Republican Convention before it was called to recess on April 26th 2008. The convention has already passed rules, bylaws, credentials, a platform, and elected national committee members. Nevada has 34 delegates to the Republican National Convention which will be held September 1st through the 4th in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
