IMC origins in Ada County GOP leadership rupture
Recorded status: SOURCE-RESTORED RECOVERY ITEM. URLs and source-specific support statements restored from corrected v2 snapshot. Evidentiary firewall preserved; dynamic aggregates and secondary reports still require ordinary publication-stage verification.
This is a dated research record. Its qualifications and open questions are part of the account. Association alone does not establish wrongdoing or control.
Six Ada County Republican Central Committee officers resigned in October 2023: Victor Miller, Megan Reichle, Travis Clyde, Barrett Tetlow, Dave Litster, and Kim Wickstrum. The resignation statement described a dispute with state-party direction and candidate-support constraints. Several of those names later appear in IMC leadership/donor records.
Evidence firewall: Supports a documented internal-party governance dispute, not an inference of deceptive intent.
