On March 4, U.S. District Court Judge Eli J. Richardson, a Trump appointee, ruled that the plaintiffs lack standing in Ashe v Hargett, m.d., 3:23cv-1256. This is the lawsuit that challenges a new Tennessee law that signs must be posted at the polls, on primary day, warning voters that they must be a “bona fide” member of a party in order to choose that party’s primary ballot.
Since 1972, Tennessee law has required that only “bona fide” members of the party may vote in a party’s primary. It is only recently that the law says signs must be posted at the polls, reminding voters about the the 1972 law. Ever since the 1972 restriction was passed, no one has ever been prosecuted. Probably no one will ever have standing unless the potential plaintiff is prosecuted some day. Here is the opinion.
Tennessee does not have registration by party, which means that “bona fide” member of a party is an exceedingly vague idea.
The majority of Tennessee legislators are bona fide bonafied boneheads.
You’d be an expert on that, I reckon.

Not to mention that one’s “bona fides” can change from day to day.
