I’m Shocked. Shocked I tell you. The anonymous “Minnehaha Central Committee” group is actively crying this afternoon, and sending out yet another unsigned e-mail because the current executive board is refusing to validate their attempts to overthrow them.
So now they’re setting up another meeting to try to overthrow the board again.

Subject: Follow up Meeting called for January 7th
Dear Minnehaha County Central Committee Members:
Please be informed that one-fifth of the Minnehaha County Central Committee members have called for a special meeting. We previously called for a meeting on Dec. 29th in order to meet our obligation under the bylaws, but unfortunately, all 6 elected members of the current executive board (chair, vice chair, etc…) declined our invitation to attend the meeting even though it was rightfully and legally called.The meeting last night was well attended by well over 50 committee people, invited guests, and members of the media. Attendees were also able to hear from and speak with several of the candidates who are running for positions on the county GOP executive board.
In order to give the current executive board members an opportunity to satisfy the spirit (if not the letter) of the bylaws, a quorum of the Minnehaha County Central Committee members are now calling for a second central committee meeting scheduled for Saturday, January 7th, 2022 at 10:30 am..
(Did anyone bother to tell the fake committee that there’s an inauguration going on that weekend?)
The fake committee claims that they “rightfully and legally” called the meeting. But, did they? Because you notice they’re holding another meeting and can’t do a darned thing without the executive board members showing up.
The big takeaway is that they can do nothing but yowl. And the real committee is going to be holding their own meeting at the end of January, no matter how many meetings the fake committee calls.
There is pressure on the right, pressure on the left, pressure in the middle of the hole. I’m going to Main with a 40 foot crane gonna use it as a fishin’ pole.
We are living in the future. I till you how I know. I read it in the paper. 15 years ago.

It is being underestimated just how close these groups have come to taking over control of the party.
As more evidence makes it out, the pressure to turn the leadership over will intesify.
Mr Dale, the Minnehaha County party flips their leadership often. That’s part of the problem. There are groups of disaffected people there who refuse to socialize with each other. It used to just be the women’s groups in Sioux Falls, then the CRs and YRs got in on it, and by 2020 we had a virtual convention with remote gathering sites, one of them being in Sioux Falls, where the failure of the Minnehaha County Chairwoman to show up was particularly disappointing. This was followed by competing election night watch parties, so it’s not surprising they are now going to have rogue central committee meetings, probably elect a separate board of executive officers, and produce a headache for the state party credentials committee.
Happy Start of a New Year, Mr. Dale. grudznick, apparently, will awaken to see yet another year and clean up a few more of your fellows messes and help spread the word about how evil is the Demon Weed. It is bad, it is very bad.
Even though Monae Johnson has already assumed her duties in the SOS office, I would think the people who got her nominated and elected would be sufficiently enthusiastic to want to attend the inauguration celebrations that day.
Maybe not.
good lord.
