Roetter Survived On 31-24 Vote

If you read the Coeur d'Alene Press story this morning, you know that 55 votes were cast on the motion before the Kootenai County Republican Central Committee on the motion to oust Matt Roetter as state committeeman. And that Roetter survived. But did you know that 31 voted to oust Roetter and 24 voted against the ouster. The motion required a two-thirds supermajority for passage. Seems 48 Republicans (& Constitutionalists who currently run the local central committee) were present for the super-secret executive session & 7 others sent proxy votes.
