On July 24, the Catoosa County, Georgia, Republican Party filed its third amended Complaint in Catoosa County Republican Party v Catoosa County Board of Elections, n.d, 4:24cv-95. This is the case filed in 2024 to block certain candidates from the Republican primary ballot. The party county officers believe the candidates, who were running for county office, were not bona fide Republicans.
The county Republican Party’s earlier court filings were inadequate, and the party has been trying to re-write its Complaint to keep the case viable. The case is now two years old.
Major parties in Alabama and Tennessee have a well-established right to keep candidates out of their primaries if the parties believe the candidates are not bona fide members of the party. But there is no such tradition in Georgia, and if the praty were to win its lawsuit, that would upend elections in Georgia.
BONA FIDE – LIE DETECTOR TESTS / BLOOD OATHS ???
PARTY GANGS ARE NOT INDEPENDENT EMPIRES RE P-U-B-L-I-C NOMINATIONS OF PUBLIC OFFICERS.
SEE NOW OLDE TX WHITE PRIMARY CASES 1928-1932
NEED MANY MORE PARTY HACKS BE PUT IN PUBLIC JAILS FOR ELECTION SUBVERSION
Bona fide = not fake
Moronic kangaroo court decision
Parties should nominate or not nominate who they want, freedom of association.
These are the three questions that the county board of elections refused to print on the ballot for being electioneering.
“Did you know that the Catoosa County Republican Party Convention Delegates voted to expel Chuck Harris from the party?”
“Did you know that Colton Moore is the only candidate for Congressional District 14 endorsed by the Georgia Republican
Assembly?”
“Did you know that Nick Millwood has opposed Republican Party efforts to prohibit Democrats from running on the Republican Party primary ballot?”
Why should anyone except active Republicans have any part of a decision about who is on the ballot as a Republican?
Under Georgia law, an “active Republican” is someone who shows up the polling place and says give me a Republican ballot.
That’s a stupid law on its face. The party is a thing to the extent that people spend the time, money, resources, and effort to make it one. Showing up and asking for a ballot once every few years doesn’t.
@DL,
How much time?
How much money?
How much effort?
How much resources?
