The State Chairman, David Weston; sent out a March 2015 OKGOP mass e-mail titled “The Truth About the Presidential Primary,” including what “advice and consent” was received from the Central and Executive Committees.
I’ve been getting inquiries about why the Committees are for SB233 and for a Winner-Take-All system (WTA).
That is not what [the] letter says and is not what the Central and Executive Committees said; however, it is very easy to read those thoughts into the letter.
The Executive Committee voted to allow SB233 to exist so that we could have the debate over WTA or Proportional systems for Oklahoma at the next State Committee meeting, April 10th.
We do not HAVE to do anything legislatively to keep the Super Tuesday date and the Proportional system.
I like the Proportional vote system and I have always been skeptical about moving the date; but, to allow for discussion by the entire State Committee, I also agreed to allow HB233 to exist until the State Committee members had an opportunity to weigh in on the issue.
Hope this helps to clarify.
Sincerely,
Carolyn
