LAS VEGAS-Meeting tonight behind closed doors, the Executive Board of the Nevada Republican Party elected July 26 as the make-up date for the state GOP's aborted convention.  Like the previous convention Apr. 26, this will be held at the Peppermill Hotel and Casino in Reno.

The Apr. 26 convention was recessed following the election of several Ron Paul supporters as delegates to the national convention. Paul is the only remaining Republican candidate against presumptive Republican nominee John McCain.

Recently, a Reno-based Paul supporter, Dr. Wayne Terhune, has offered a room at the Grand Sierra Resort to finish the convention.

Terhune's convention is scheduled for June 28.

"We are excited about completing business and moving on towards our end goal of electing Republicans in November," stated Chairman Sue Lowden.  "Our Executive Committee has worked hard to secure a location, insurance, and the necessary security precautions for the reconvening of the convention.  All credentialed delegates will receive notification of the date and location by mail." 

No word yet on if the delegates voted on before the previous convention recessed will be upheld.
