(Colorado Newsline) Critics of Colorado Republican Party Chair Dave Williams are free to meet and hold a vote on his removal later this month after a judge lifted a temporary block on the process on Tuesday evening.

In July, Arapahoe County District Court Judge Thomas W. Henderson blocked members from holding a scheduled meeting to oust Williams. Tuesday, however, he concluded that the matter falls outside his jurisdiction entirely.

The group of Williams critics now plans to meet August 24 in Brighton.
