Another group of Colorado Republicans voted a week earlier to oust Williams and replace him with former El Paso County GOP Chair Eli Bremer.
CASTLE ROCK, Colo. — Supporters of Colorado Republican Chair Dave Williams gathered Saturday and voted to keep him in power.
It came a week after a rival faction of Colorado Republicans held their own meeting and voted him out.
Security guards turned away journalists from watching the meeting and the vote Saturday, including a reporter from 9NEWS, but the meeting was livestreamed on Facebook.
At a church in Castle Rock, Williams made his pitch to remain in charge of a party in freefall, divided by his attacks on fellow Republicans, inability to raise money, and bigoted attacks on the LGBTQ+ community.
The faction that claims it still controls the Colorado GOP said Williams overwhelmingly won the vote to stay in power. On Aug. 24, a different faction of party leaders held a vote to replace him with former El Paso County GOP Chair Eli Bremer in a vote Williams claims was illegal.
Bremer said the vote that was planned for Saturday was illegal.
The civil war inside the Colorado GOP is likely to be settled by the Republican National Committee.
