A deeply divided El Paso County Republican Party has split into two organizations over vision and leadership.
KTSM-TV News reports that Party officials expected former chairman Rick Seeberger to cause a scene at last week's meeting at a Christian center in central El Paso. But he quietly stepped down when nearly 100 members of the party largely rejected a motion to allow him to speak.
Seeberger hadn't resigned his position October of last year, but rescinded that position when some people in the green party encouraged to remain involved.
Members of the party then elected Ray Baca as their new chairman, who immediately appointed Bethany Hatch as his vice-chair. The election puts Baca at the head of a local party organization that is recognized by the state GOP.
