College Republicans

Vonnegut · Jul 17, 2021

The job of College Republican National Committee (CRNC) chairman is a significant one. College Republican chapters around the country are vital to GOP get-out-the-vote efforts, and the job provides networking opportunities that often serve as a launching pad for a career in the party and conservative movement — just ask Karl Rove.

Strong, stable leadership at the top of the CRNC is doubly important because the chairman wields so much power within the organization. At their discretion, they may decertify certain state college Republican conglomerates (usually called federations) and admit others.

If students are under the impression that the whole edifice is corrupt, or rigged, they are far less likely to become members and door-knockers in the short term, and party activists or even officeholders in the long term. A number of students and recent graduates who hold paid leadership positions in the group told National Review they are under that exact impression.

They claim that the race to become the next chairman of the CRNC has been derailed and delegitimized by the underhanded actions of outgoing chair Chandler Thornton, and Southern Regional Vice Chair Courtney Britt — Thornton’s preferred successor. Whether Thornton and Britt ultimately succeed in this aim will be determined at Saturday’s CRNC convention, where states will cast their allocated votes for either Britt or Western Regional Vice Chair Judah Waxelbaum.

Well, where some states are set to vote.

Beautiful. Now, finally, Republicans have their stolen election - at the CRNC Convention. Achieved through voter suppression, no less. Leaders involved have bright future in new and improved GOP.

So Britt won her election.

Courtney Britt, the candidate who incumbent College Republican National Committee Chairman Chandler Thornton hoped would succeed him, triumphed today over Judah Waxelbaum. Only about 60 percent of CRNC affiliates cast ballots, though: A consequence of the maneuvering detailed earlier this week by National Review.

And Mississippi and New York both formally withdrew. Texas, Florida and Oregon plan to follow suit. Winning an election that leads to the fracturing of the organization from underhanded tactics is not a great start.
