The July 17th State Committee meeting turned into rejection for Oklahoma GOP Chairman John Bennett. His motion to censure Lankford and Inhofe failed 93 to 122. Now there were a total of 317 delegates and proxies registered to vote so around 68% of the votes were cast. Is that not weird? We will come back to that later in this story.
So a total of 215 delegates, or 43% supported Bennett's action and a whopping 57% rejected Bennett's leadership on the matter.
The second issue, having a fall convention to clean up three years worth of rule changes, bylaw changes, and resolutions (including the two county submitted censure resolutions) was actually pulled from consideration by the Bennett team. Smart move, with the censure resolutions as part of the package for a fall convention, that issue would have failed along the same lines as the censure vote.
