Oregon: Republican National Committee Member survives recall vote

Oregon Republican National Committee Member Solomon Yue survived his recall vote, with 80-50 votes calling for his removal, which was 7 less than needed for his being kicked out. 

I'm not exactly sure about the rules for the recall vote (Petitioners claimed that about 60% of active Republican county parties signed the petition).

Petitions claim that Yue has undermined RNC Chairs in the past, including supporting a challenge to current RNC chair Ronna McDaniel. There are also questions of "loyalty" which seems based on the fact that he was born in China. Yue, who has been in office for six terms, claims that he is being targeted because of his support for Donald Trump. One of the supporters of the recall effort, fellow RNC National Committee Member Tracy Honl, voted for McDaniel and notes that she is also a Trump supporter.
