Texas GOP announces Robert Morrow is out as Travis County Republican Chairman

“In accordance with state law, upon filing as a write-in candidate for President of the United States on August 19th, 2016, Robert Morrow became ineligible to hold the office of Travis County Republican Chair.”

Here is the statement issued Thursday afternoon by Tom Mechler, Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas:

“In accordance with state law, upon filing as a write-in candidate for President of the United States on August 19th, 2016, Robert Morrow became ineligible to hold the office of Travis County Republican Chair. There is absolutely no place for rhetoric as distasteful as Mr. Morrow’s in the Republican Party of Texas. We are excited to move forward with the Travis County GOP and the new incoming Chair as soon as an election is held to fill the position.”

Here is Morrow’s filing for President of the United States.
