Dave Williams Ousted in Contentious Colorado GOP Vote

Dave Williams, the embattled chairman of the Colorado Republican Party, was voted out of his position by the state GOP central committee in a contentious meeting held in Brighton. The vote, which registered 161.66 to 12 in favor of his removal, also led to the ousting of Vice Chair Hope Scheppelman and Secretary Anna Ferguson. However, Williams has declared the meeting illegal and refuses to recognize the results, labeling it a 'fraudulent meeting' led by a 'fringe element.' This internal GOP struggle mirrors broader national tensions within the party and could lead to further legal and organizational disputes. The Republican National Committee may need to verify the vote, adding another layer of complexity to the situation.
