Travis County GOP ousts chairman Robert Morrow (http://kxan.com/2016/08/25/travis-county-gop-may-oust-chairman-robert-morrow/)
AUSTIN (KXAN) — The Travis County GOP has moved to remove Chairman Robert Morrow on Friday.
Morrow’s tenure has been marked by his jester hat, controversial social media posts and most recently, protesting outside a Donald Trump rally. Party members have been openly complaining about Morrow sending out offensive messages on social media.

On Aug. 19, Morrow registered as a write-in candidate for president. His paperwork has been approved by the Texas Secretary of State.
That latest political move contributed to Morrow losing his position. According to a former member of the party’s executive team, running for a federal elected position would be a violation of its bylaws.
David J. Duncan is currently serving as the acting chairman until a new chairman is elected at a meeting scheduled on Sept. 20.
