DON'T BE FOOLED! As there has been considerable false or misleading in- formation circulating regarding the District 12 Republican Party, we believe the facts must be told. Grant Christensen was well aware of the requirements that dues must be paid 10 days in advance at least two months prior to the District 12 Endorsing Convention. Christensen and a group of about 25 individuals showed up at the endorsing conven- tion insisting that they be allowed to pay the $12 dues that evening and vote. There was no motion to suspend the rules or any meeting of the executive committee that night to take any action on the request. An error was made and they were allowed to pay their dues and vote. This resulted in Grant Christensen having an unfair advantage at the expense of the other candidates who followed the rules. A candidate who was harmed by this mistake filed an objection. The Executive Committee met on Thursday February 20th, 2020 and agreed that a mistake was made and that a new vote was necessary and set for Saturday, February 22nd, 2020. All candidates, including Christensen, were notified Thurs- day afternoon, February 20th, 2020. At about 9:30 pm that evening, Christensen went to 85 year old District 12 Chair Delores Rath's home, a wonderful and trusting lady, and fooled her into signing a bogus "Certificate of Endorsement" stating he was the official endorsed candidate. The following day, which was Friday, the 21st of February, Christensen or someone representing him, hand delivered the bogus certificate of endorsement to the N.D. Secretary of State's office. One would logically assume the misguided thought was that if they delivered the ill obtained certificate, it would trump results of the upcoming February 22nd re-vote of the endorsing convention.
