A top Illinois Republican is being dethroned – while another has resigned. The Illinois Republican State Central Committee voted this week to remove Mark Shaw as state party vice chair, while Chairman Don Tracy is no longer holding that position either.
Shaw’s removal follows allegations that he voted as a delegate at last month’s state Republican convention despite not being one.
Shaw is the former chairman of the GOP in Lake County.
State Republicans are making the change less than a month before its delegation heads to Milwaukee for the Republican National Convention to nominate former President Donald Trump.
