As reported yesterday by Undercover Porcupine in the article “Reince Priebus, RNC Strike Challenger Mark Willis With Ron Paul Write-In Candidacy”, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus has been smearing Maine National Committeeman and challenger for Chair Mark Willis. Phone calls have been made to members of the RNC by Priebus claiming that Willis can be removed for a rules violation, stating that his appearance as a write-in alongside Ron Paul in Maine was working against the Romney/Ryan ticket.
California National Committeeman Shawn Steel also sent out a letter to the Republican National Committee calling out Willis, which was obtained by the DailyCaller. The DailyCaller article, “Drama in RNC election as Ron Paul supporter makes run for chairman”, has the letter text which echoes much of what Priebus has been personally telling people.
As noted in yesterday’s article however, candidate consent is not required to become a registered write-in in the State of Maine. The consent of four presidential electors is all that is required. Thus, former Congressman Ron Paul and National Comitteeman Mark Willis did not consent.
Patrick Eisenhart, the elector who submitted the ticket, defended Willis. In a comment on yesterday’s article, Eisenhart called out the party’s wasteful habits under Priebus, which have been damaging to the party. He went out to say, “As a Republican, I rejected those tactics by submitting Paul and Willis as candidates to the Maine Secretary of State. Neither had any prior knowledge or had given their consent thus Priebus attempt to disqualify Willis is absolutely groundless and pathetic.”
Now in a letter sent out to the Republican National Committee obtained by Undercover Porcupine, Mark Willis has called out Reince Priebus and his dirty tactics:
