By my count, the Bastiat Caucus gained chairmanships in districts 40, 14 and 5 (they held some already, as
The Normies gained chairmanships in 17, 44, 16, 41, 21 and 39.
That s a +4 for the Normies when it comes to votes on the NDGOP s state committee and a -4 for the Bastiats.
The Normies also wrested control of the
North Dakota College Republicans (an organization with a vote on the NDGOP s State Committee) after the former Bastiat-aligned chairman attempted to delay an election until after the state party reorganization in June in violation of the group s constitution and bylaws.
The CRs ended up holding an ad-hoc convention elected new leadership, and the NDGOP has recognized that leadership.
The College Republicans are woven into the governance structure of the
North Dakota Republican Party. As part of an effort to reach out to younger voters, the NDGOP gave the CRs, and another group called the North Dakota Young Republicans, seats on the party s state committee. That committee decides the leadership and many of the policy directions of the NDGOP, and the candidates of the NDGOP govern the state.
If you control the leadership of the College Republicans, you control a seat on one of the most consequential committees in state politics.
Hold on to that thought for a moment.
