A three-day trial will be held August 21-23 in South Carolina Republican Party v State, 6:10cv-1407. This is the case over whether the Republican Party may close its primary. Alternatively, the party wants relief from the state law that says if a party chooses to hold a convention instead of a primary, that resolution must be approved by three-fourths of all the delegates to the State Convention.
The trial begins at 9:30 a.m. in the Spartanburg federal courthouse at 201 Magnolia Street. The judge is Mary G. Lewis, who was appointed in 2011 by President Obama.
What are the alleged disputed facts in the case that require a trial ???
Obviously most/all of the stuff is about the facial legality of the State election law sections involved.
Whether Democrats are voting in the Republican primary.
