Initially Sen. Bart Davis of Idaho Falls, who was elected to run the convention, refused to reveal the vote count Saturday night in the party chairman race. State Secretary Kitty Kuntz told one reporter that the results were destroyed.
But after complaints from the media, Davis called ousted Chairman Kirk Sullivan and asked him if he wanted him to "eat the numbers."
Sullivan said he had no problem releasing the vote, which was 227 votes for Norm Semanko and 169 votes for Sullivan.
