Wondering what happened in Oregon?

Today, 10 OREGON alternate delegates filed credentials contests with the RNC on their own behalf against the 'appointed' friendlies, insiders, and cronies of the Oregon Republican Party Executive Board.

This filing by 10 of the alternate delegates of Oregon on their own behalf is in addition to a separate filing being made on behalf of all of the alternate delegates by the Ron Paul Campaign counsel.

Here is an excerpt:

SUMMARY OF POSITION:

Point 1: The Oregon Republican Party [hereinafter “ORP”] through its representatives engaged in multiple forms of unlawful and ultra vires conduct designed to facilitate the appointment of political favorites, insiders and cronies as credentialed delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention in place of individuals selected by duly-credentialed party members according to governing rules. That unlawful and ultra vires conduct included:

a. providing deliberate misinformation to credentialed delegates attending duly-convened and lawful Congressional District Conventions in order to prevent those credentialed delegates from casting lawful and required ballots according to governing rules;

b. engaging in reprehensible conduct designed to prevent credentialed delegates attending duly-convened and lawful Congressional District Conventions from physically casting lawful and required ballots according to governing rules; and

c. disregarding the ballots for certain delegate positions duly cast by credentialed delegates attending duly-convened and lawful Congressional District Conventions according to governing rules.

2. As a result of the misconduct and ultra vires behavior by ORP officials, certain Oregon alternative delegates to the 2012 Republican National Convention were credentialed and certified who were not, in fact, selected according to governing law and rules; one of the alternate delegates who was not selected according to governing law and rules is [Contestee ...name excluded for privacy..].

3. One of the alternate delegates who was selected according to governing law and rules is [Contestant...name excluded for privacy..]. For that reason, I directly challenge [Contestee ...name excluded for privacy..] and demand that the disputed alternate delegate position be credentialed in my name.

Learned a new word:
"Ultra vires is a Latin phrase meaning literally "beyond the powers", although its standard legal translation and substitute is "beyond power"."
 
Thank you for posting this! We need our alternates -- the count on the actual delegates was really close and 'who shows up and can be seated' could make all the difference!
