CONCLUSION: At this meeting, 304 PCs present in person carried 493 proxies. This is ONLY among those seven districts that had more proxies than people in person. 189 votes were cast on behalf of ghosts in those seven districts where the predominance of votes were by proxy.... not by the actual PCs who didn't even show up. There were 868 total votes by proxies, many of them ghost proxies*. Is that right, by any measure? Remember, two candidates were elected by 54 and 45 votes. You see how proxies elected these two board members. Is that right? If YOU were there, you got only ONE vote but for those who carried proxies, some got as many as nine or ten votes but the average was 1.62 votes for those in person.

AZGOP Candidate Jonathan Lines Donated to Senator John McCain

Yavapai PC Jim Dutton: Attached are the FEC filings of Jonathan Lines that I believe reveal where his true loyalties lie.  As they say, "Follow the Money." Link to verify:http://www.fec.gov/finance/disclosure/norindsea.shtml 
 
LD26 State Committeeman Joe Neglia: AZGOP Chair Candidate Jonathan Lines is apparently a generous donor. According to the Federal Elections Commission, Lines contributed $500 to the John McCain 2016 campaign and $500 to the Jeb Bush campaign. See donations at WWW.FEC.GOV, or http://www.joeneglia.com/Lines.png"
MCRC Editor’s Note: Briefs offered Lines an opportunity to comment on his donations -- Jonathan Lines: In response, I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to help elect Republican candidates for all levels of government. Once Senator McCain secured the Republican nomination and the right to take on Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, it was an easy decision to support the Republican candidate. I believed, and still do, that electing Republicans is the only way to repeal ObamaCare, tear up the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, and destroy ISIS. Ann Kirkpatrick was an ObamaCare supporter, calling it her proudest vote. I knew we needed to defeat her, and I needed to do what I could to do so. I’ve also given thousands of dollars over the years to state and local Republican Party organizations, along with the hundreds of PCs I’ve signed up and the miles I’ve walked knocking on doors. I’ve always been happy to help any conservative institution that is dedicated to electing more Republicans and advancing the conservative agenda. I will put my grassroots and conservative record up against anyone in this race, and I’m proud of all I’ve done to advance our cause and our shared values.

We now have only half the PCs we should. Many are ghost-PCs, names on proxies, wielded at our meetings by party power brokers. Instead of energizing, our meetings are demoralizing. We committeemen know we have little real power left. Some of our representatives even push National Popular Vote, Common Core, and other leftist agendas because it's more beneficial to them than representing the views of their own party's members.As State Committeemen we aren't powerless yet! On January 28th we can vote! Don't sign a proxy! Come to our Statutory Meeting in person. Move the power from the backroom to your living room. Use your voice to elect Jim O'Connor as party chairman." FRANK THORWALD "I want to work with Republicans throughout AZ, seek their valuable insights and work closely with them so together we can elect Republicans to office; expand our base and have an environment where we can raise the money needed to make this happen!
