Judge Upholds Colorado GOP Chair's Position

El Paso County District Judge Eric Bentley ruled that the vote to remove Colorado GOP Chair Dave Williams was invalid due to not meeting the required threshold of votes. The ruling emphasized that the party bylaws necessitate a three-fifths majority of the entire Central Republican Committee (CRC) membership, not just those present at the meeting. Williams' opponents, led by Eli Bremer, misinterpreted the bylaws and failed to secure the required support. This decision ensures Williams remains in his position through the upcoming November election, while Bremer's attempt to replace him is legally unfounded. The court ruling addresses the key question of Williams' legitimacy as the party chair, although further litigation on related matters is expected next month.
