Alabama Republican Party Almost Bars Candidate from Running in its Primary Because in 2022 He Donated $250 to Libertarian Party

On November 26, the Alabama Republican Party voted 9-8 to let Gerrick Wilkins run in the 2024 Republican primary for U.S. House. In 2022 he donated $250 to the Libertarian Party. The party bylaws say no one can run in the Republican primary who donated money to the nominee of another party, so he was challenged. However, technically, he did not violate the Republican bylaws because he gave his donation to the Libertarian Party per se, not to any particular Libertarian Party candidate. See this story.
