OKGOP State Committee Will Elect A Vice Chair

  In the wake of the resignation of embattled vice chair, Estella Hernandez; The OKGOP State Committee will receive a call to meet and select a replacement.  No one has stepped up, as of yet, to place their name in consideration.
  Here's a posted explanation from the OKGOP Rules Facebook page:

Question: I heard that the State Vice Chairman resigned, just a few months prior to the Quadrennial convention. Will we elect a new State vice chair at the convention?

Answer: No. the rules state that the State Committee shall call for an election at the state committee meeting, held at least 30 days later. But the replacement must be done within 60 days of the vacancy.

"..the election is to take place between Feb. 17th & March 18th"

• "Rule 10-(i) Vacancies of State Chairman and Vice Chairman: If the State Chairman shall die, move from the state, resign, or otherwise become disqualified, then the Vice Chairman shall serve as Chairman until such vacancy shall be filled by the State Committee at a special meeting held within sixty (60) days for such purpose pursuant to written or electronic notice sent to all members of said committee stating such purpose 30 days prior to said meeting. Any person elected to fill such vacancy shall serve the remainder of the unexpired term. If the Vice Chairman shall die, move from the state, resign, or otherwise become disqualified, then the vacancy shall be filled by the State Committee as described for filling the office of Chairman."

So, if the resignation is dated January 18th, then the election is to take place between Feb. 17th & March 18th. The state convention will not be required to act in this matter, if the state committee does their job.

  Hernandez has had a rather controversial 9 months at the OKGOP, serving as acting chair for a month, after the chairman resigned in September. She had a very rocky working relationship with former Chairman Brogdon; publicly criticizing his actions, and particularly his other staffing appointments.
  KFAQ Radio reported an inconsistency in Hernandez' claims, in their research of the endless strife of last year.
