SDGOP convention chair using party resources to attack candidate for Attorney General

It’s only Monday of convention week, and it’s already crazy.

The State Republican Party tonight and this past weekend improperly held platform committee hearings via Zoom, for which there is no provision in the State bylaws to conduct electronically. But those in charge of the Republican Party don’t seem to worry about the rules.

And now tonight, Republican Party Convention chair and Pennington County Republican Party chair, Amy Wagner, decided to use the Pennington County Republican Party mail server to attack one of the candidates for Attorney General on the cusp of the convention.

Someone explain to me why the State GOP’s executive board isn’t holding an emergency meeting tonight to replace her as convention chair?

I think if there is any danger to the convention process, it’s being brought about by the fact that people aren’t following the bylaws, and using their position and titles to try to influence the process. Despite a long, long-standing tradition of the party not doing that.

That kind of nonsense is going to erode any credibility from the convention far before anything.
