I have previously reported on the meeting held in Raleigh, North Carolina<\/a>, on April 30, where a bunch of sore losers illegally deposed Hasan Harnett, the duly elected head of the North Carolina Republican Party<\/a>. If you missed the report, you can read it here<\/a>. Chairman<\/a> Harnett attended the North Carolina State Republican Convention<\/a> in Raleigh this weekend. He has shown the character and courage to stand up to the illegal actions of the group that decided to unelect him last weekend.<\/p>\n

Yesterday The Raleigh News & Observer<\/a> reported that Hasan Harnett has stated that he is still the Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party. I agree with him, but I wonder what will happen next. I suspect a nasty lawsuit will follow Mr. Harnett’s declaration.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

After months of infighting among party leaders, the Republican Party Executive Committee voted April 30 to remove Harnett and replace him with former U.S. Rep. Robin Hayes<\/a> of Concord.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hayes led Saturday\u2019s convention from the stage, while Harnett sat with the delegation from Cabarrus County<\/a>, where he lives. But in one of the first interviews he\u2019s given since being ousted, Harnett said the removal vote wasn\u2019t legitimate because it didn\u2019t follow party rules.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still the chairman, duly elected,\u201d he told reporters outside the convention hall. \u201cRegardless of all the brouhaha and the shenanigans that are taking place, my job is to make sure that there is openness, fairness and transparency within the party.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Harnett said some of his supporters attended the convention, while others were discouraged by his removal and stayed home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hayes\u2019 speech Saturday didn\u2019t mention Harnett, but he said the party is improving. \u201cWe are regaining our mojo, our credibility, but more importantly, as a company, people are becoming more willing to invest with us,\u201d he said, holding up a donation check. Harnett had been criticized for failing to raise money \u2013 something he disputes. \u201cWe need to bring all our forces to bear so we can get rid of Hillary.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Republican establishment in North Carolina has not behaved well.\u00a0 As I have previously reported (here), this is about delegates to the Republican Convention in Cleveland<\/a> in June. Donald Trump<\/a> won the North Carolina primary election and is entitled to a certain percentage of the votes. The establishment is still looking for ways to take votes away from Donald Trump. As I have frequently stated, I am not a Trump supporter although I will vote for him rather than vote for Hillary. However, the choice of the voters who voted in the primary election needs to be respected, and somehow the establishment Republicans have forgotten that.<\/p>\n

I believe that Hasan Harnett is the legitimate Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party. I suspect the courts will agree with that statement because of the party rules broken in ousting Hasan Harnett. I hope this gets resolved soon.<\/p>\n
