Summary
West Palm Beach County Republican chairman Sid Dinerstein (left) gestures as he speaks with Derek Black (right) about the Black's election win, West Palm Beach, Florida, 11 December, 2008.

Derek Black won a seat as a Republican Party committee member in an election held August 26, 2008. Sinerstein claimed that Black should be allowed to hold the seat because he didn't sign a loyalty oath, which requires that candidates avoid activities that are “likely to injure the name of the Republican Party.”
