Mack Team Wins; Election Results Challenged at Young Republican Convention

BOSTON (Talon News) -- Michael Mack was narrowly elected the next chairman of the Young Republican National Federation (YRNF) on Saturday, defeating opposition candidate Mike Flory to move up one rank from his former position of national co-chairman.

Concerns about the integrity of the election process have been widespread since the convention began, however, and became especially pronounced after the official tally was announced. At the YR National Board Meeting on Sunday, Flory filed a complaint to investigate the charges. An official complaint would involve the establishment of a "dispute resolution" committee, led by the chairman of the YR State Chairman's Association (SCA), Clay Barclay of Alabama. Barclay had endorsed Flory prior to the Boston convention.

"Our people found tremendous amounts of voting irregularities once we were able to look at the official breakdown of the numbers in the Chair race," Flory told Talon News. "The two that I mentioned that were blatantly obvious were the ten votes in the Mack column from the state of Tennessee, [when] the State of Tennessee had cast all their votes for me ... [and that] the Puerto Rico delegation somehow voted twelve votes for Mack [when] according to the [YRNF] Constitution they're only entitled to four."

I think he meant, "when all their votes are belong to us".
