Can't Confirm: No Evidence That D'rinda Randall Selected David Covey as Running Mate for Vice Chairman

A claim has been circulating that D'rinda Randall selected David Covey as her running mate in a race for vice chairman. After searching public records, news databases, and fact-checking organizations including PolitiFact, no source confirms or denies this. The verdict is unverifiable.

Searches across general web sources turned up nothing — no press releases, no news articles, no official announcements tied to either name in this context. That absence of evidence is itself meaningful. Legitimate political selections, even at local levels, typically leave some kind of public trail.

It is possible this claim refers to a race within a state party committee, a private organization, or a local body whose records are not publicly indexed. That would explain why nothing surfaces. But 'possible' is not the same as confirmed. A claim that cannot be checked should not be treated as fact.

To be fair to those sharing this: the specificity of the claim — real-sounding names, a defined role — makes it feel credible. Specific details create the impression that someone must know what they are talking about. That feeling is not evidence.

If you encountered this claim, the right move is to ask for a source. Which organization? When did this happen? Is there an official announcement? If no one can answer those questions, the claim should not be passed along as established fact. Unverifiable claims spread fastest when people assume someone else already checked.
