Nevada GOP Cancels State Convention Citing Lack of Interest

Citing a lack of enthusiasm, the Nevada Republican Party scrapped the state convention and will, instead, elect state delegates via private conference call.

The state party broke up its original convention in April when supporters of Ron Paul hijacked the proceedings and tried to elect delegates for their candidate to the national GOP convention in September. Party officials tried to reconvene on July 26, but they needed a quorum of 675 and received only 300 RSVPs, according to local reports.
