A hearings officer for the Iowa Secretary of State will preside on Wednesday, August 28, in the challenge to the Libertarian Party’s nominee for U.S. House, Third District. The party nominated Marco Battaglia by meetings, which the law allows. The Republican Party challenged him because it said the Libertarian Party didn’t hold county conventions, even though it held local meetings and a state convention.
The Libertarian Party says it did hold county conventions. They were co-terminous with the state convention. At the state convention, county conventions were convened, and residents of particular counties caucused together.
Under Eu v San Francisco, parties should have total independence regarding the holding and conduct of state and local party conventions, and the choosing of party officers at all levels.
COUNTER-SUE FOR $$$ DAMAGES TO BANKRUPT THE HACKS
Meh, I don’t like when Democrats do this or when Republicans do this. The GOP will likely win all 4 districts in Iowa no matter how many 3rd parties run. This is petty.
