On December 24, the Texas Secretary of State filed a brief in Hunt v State of Texas, n.d., 2:25cv-200.  This is the lawsuit in which the Republican Party hopes to obtain a closed primary for itself.  The Secretary of State is opposed to the lawsuit.  Her latest brief says the lawsuit should be dismissed because it isn’t ripe.  She says the Republican Party hasn’t even decided the details of how its closed primary would work, and the case therefore can’t continue.
