Tennessee Republican Party Excludes Congressional Candidate from its Primary for Failing to Meet Duration of Residency Requirement

On April 19, the Tennessee Republican Party removed Morgan Ortagus from its August primary ballot because she has not lived in the state for three years. Although the legislature recently passed a duration of residency requirement, that law has not yet taken effect. Thus the party action has no support in state law. See this story. The story does not say if she plans to sue. Thanks to PoliticalWire for the link.
