Solomon Yue’s Sabotage of Ron Paul’s Presidential Bid in 2012

The National Committeeperson for the Oregon Republican Party was Solomon Yue in 2012. At the ORP state convention, Yue maligned Paul and worked with the party officials to shut down the vote for alternate delegates who supported Paul.
At the 2012 National Republican Convention in Tampa Florida, the Republican Central Committee had created “Rule 40(b), which required candidates to win the “support of a majority of the delegates from each of eight or more states” to have their names placed on the nominating ballot. The raised threshold – it had previously been a plurality from five states – helped to prevent Paul’s supporters from upstaging or distracting from the presumptive nominee, Mitt Romney, on national television.
