On November 22, Rocky De La Fuente filed a federal lawsuit against the Georgia law that gives parties complete discretion over whom to place on their presidential primary ballot. The other states that give parties complete control over whom to list on presidential primary ballots are Florida and Minnesota.
The Georgia case is De La Fuente v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:19cv-5323. It points out that De La Fuente first asked the Secretary of State about the law on October 23, but the Secretary of State has never responded. The Complaint also points out that De La Fuente has been in contact with the Republican Party of Georgia and has submitted everything the party asked for, but he has reason to believe the party will exclude all candidates except President Trump. The case is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge J. P. Boulee, a Trump appointee.
The Complaint argues that the Georgia law imposes an unconstitutional qualification on who can run for President, because the law is not designed to keep the primary ballot uncluttered, but rather bans candidates based on their views and relationships with state party officers.
Richard, I would live to see a nationwide compilation of all of the inequities with party primaries. IMO, as long as they are taxpayer-funded, they should be banned. Go Rocky, Go!!
What lawyer can detect EQUAL in 14-1 ???
AND inform ALL judges about such detection – esp. in ballot access and gerrymander cases ???
The other states that give parties complete control over whom to list on presidential primary ballots
What’s next – parties complete control — over everybody’s life, liberty and property ???
—-
BLATANT violation of NO title of Nobility clause in 1-10 — special powers to elite oligarchs.
Ring those 19 Apr 1775 ALARM church bells – this is NO Drill.
Let us take the libertarian angle; do nothing and let the market, the power of the free market solve the problem.
Who or what is going to enforce that *free market* ???
Some Terminator Robots ??? — programmed with *free market* computer chips ???
The standard 5 forms of Legis powers in govts –
Unanimity – ALL
Majority
Minority – Oligarchy – 2 or more
Minority – Monarchy – 1
Anarchy – NONE
USA NOW – evil and vicious minority rule gerrymander oligarchs in most regimes – USA Congress, ALL 50 State legislatures, most larger locals – counties, cities — each with open/lurking monarchs
— WITH MUCH, MUCH, MUCH WORSE PRIMARY MATH.
= TOTAL DANGER

PR AND APPV AND TOTSOP
For newbees and oldees with math brain cells –
N-O-W —
1/2 or less votes x 1/2 rigged packed/cracked gerrymander areas = 1/4 or less CONTROL = ANTI-Democracy OLIGARCHY — MAKING ALMOST ALL LAWS, ORDINANCES.
— WITH MUCH WORSE PRIMARY MATH – SPECIAL INTEREST GANGSTERS MAKING NOMINATIONS OF THE GERRYMANDER OLIGARCHS WHO LATER GET ELECTED.
