Republicans ask party switcher to go back to Democratic Party

al.com:
"Marshall County Republicans have asked Circuit Judge Howard Hawk, who announced a switch to the GOP in December, to switch back to the Democratic Party.
In a special meeting Monday, the 27 members present of the 29-member Marshall County Republican Executive Committee voted unanimously to ask Hawk to 'reconsider switching parties and remain as a member of the Marshall County Democratic Party.'
Jean Brewer, chairwoman of the county Republican Party, said Hawk made the party switch without consent of the local party and that he turned down an offer to meet with them prior to the switch.
Hawk said he plans to remain a Republican."
