Republican Party of Catoosa County, Georgia, Refuses to Put the Names of Three Incumbant County Commissioners on its Primary Ballot

Posted on by March 13, 2024

On March 4, the Republican Party of Catoosa County, Georgia, refused to print the names of four candidates for County Commission on the party’s May 21 primary ballot. Three of the candidates, Vanita Hullander, Jeff Long, and Larry Black, are incumbents running for re-election to their four-year terms. The fourth candidate, Steven Henry, is not an incumbent.

The county Republican Party has set up a procedure whereby each candidates is expected to meet with the party’s committee, and if the party committee doesn’t feel they are loyal Republicans, it claims the right to bar the candidates from its primary ballot. The Republican Party cites court precedents letting the state Republican Party keep David Duke off its presidential primary ballot in 1992. The candidates won a court injunction in state court on March 5. The opinion in Henry v Catoosa County Republican Party, Superior Court su-2024-205, says the Duke precedent does not control, because state law lets a party decide whom to list on its presidential primary ballot, but does not give any authority to parties with primaries to exclude candidates in other races. Here is the opinion. The party so far has refused to comply and it may be held in contempt in another court proceeding later this month. thanks to ElectionLawBlog for the link.

    Arizona’s Especially Worthwhile Electoral Reform Effort
    A local group is pursuing a proposal that deserves nationwide recognition as well as success at home.

    One of the most promising—and exciting—efforts at electoral reform in the United States right now is underway in Arizona. It needs to be more widely known—and supported—around the country as well as in its own state.
    Sponsored by a homegrown organization called Make Elections Fair Arizona, this proposal would establish nonpartisan all-candidate primaries for elections in the state. As the organization’s slogan “Every voter. Every candidate.” succinctly puts it, the essential idea is that primary elections administered by the government would not be limited to candidates or voters belonging to a particular political party, but instead would involve all candidates and all voters regardless of party affiliation in the preliminary round of the government-run electoral process, which would determine which candidates would advance to the final round of voting in the November general election.

  12. All caps is fake news. AZbot has no sexual or any other kind of organs. It’s actually just a computer program. You can’t stick your penis into it, and it doesn’t have anything to stick in any of your orifices, unless it’s single signature petition forms.

  13. Stupid RINOs, probably MAGAts, trying to clamp down on any party members they don’t like to take total control of the party. RINOs ALWAYS cave to Democrats. They’re Democrats with an R after their names. And MAGAs are RINOs.
