View More[someone on my FB page] David Treibs hopefully there are remedies!! 5h Reply David Treibs [to person] The "remedy" depends somewhat on which problem you are addressing. Teresa actually referenced the "remedy" when she said "attempting to overthrow the meeting." That 100% misrepresentation was the remedy to Bruce violating Robert's Rules and refusing to allow the CEC to vote, which blocked the will of the majority, interfering with the CEC's right and duty to control the election, surrendering the Republican Party's control of most of the election to Jim Riley. The "remedy" is found in Robert's Rules 62:8-9, which gives the CEC the means to properly override the chairman when the chairman is refusing to follow the will of the majority, which is what he is supposed to be doing. Bruce refused to acknowledge Robert's Rules. (Bruce was the one breaking the rules and being out of order.) Teresa was appointed by Bruce, so it is not surprising that she is defending him. But, it is disappointing. What needed to happen was that a majority of CEC members needed to vote against Bruce's ruling. Unfortunately, not enough members understood what was happening, or they didn't have the nerve to challenge Bruce, or they agreed with Bruce, or something. Also, I messed up at one point in that I failed to take the "nay" votes, and if anyone had abstained, we would have won. As it was, Bruce called the police on me, presumably to remove me from the meeting. It is against the rules for Bruce to remove someone from the meeting using the police. Bruce also unilaterally put the meeting into recess, which I think is also against Robert's Rules. At one point Bruce ignored my points of order, which is also against the rules. In short, the "remedy" to Bruce ignoring the majority was for the CEC to override Bruce, but that didn't happen. We have no one to blame but ourselves. Until enough CEC members have the understanding and nerve to stand up against an out of control County Chairman, we will have no remedy. Probably a better remedy is to elect a different County Chairman. We'll have that opportunity March 3.
