On January 16, U.S. District Court Judge J. P. Boulee, a Trump appointee, refused to enjoin the Georgia law that says parties are the sole judge of which presidential candidates appear on their presidential primary ballot. De La Fuente v Raffensperger, n.d., 1:19cv-5323.
The same law had previously been upheld when David Duke had sued Georgia in 1992 over his attempt to get on the Republican presidential primary ballot.
Judge Boulee wrote that the Georgia law survives strict scrutiny because it is needed to protect political parties’ right to define their membership.
I actually agree with this decision.
One more BRAIN DEAD super-moron HACK Judge.
Parties — FACTIONS of ALL PUBLIC Electors-Voters subject to 14-1 EQUAL Protection in PUBLIC primaries in a State.
See now olde Texas White primary ops.

BASIC difference in party nominations for PUBLIC offices versus internal clubby / party stooge stuff.
see 1989 Eu op. in CA.
The ballot access W-A-R continues — regardless of ALL con law MORONS.
When will ballot access plaintiffs find any non-MORON/HACK judge ???
IMO, it should depend on who pays for the primary. If the state pays, the state says. If the party pays, or if the party chooses NOT to have a primary, it’s the party’s choice.
I’m 1000% in agreement with WZ
