Republican voter suppression...

There are several states that use blanket or jungle primaries.

They've had to work around a Supreme Court decision regarding freedom of association.

It would be pretty easy to work around the SCOTUS case by just stripping all importance from primaries. Say a party can do whatever they like but it has no legal significance. Anyone can get on the ballot with the sufficient number of signature and can pick whatever letter they want to appear next to their name.

Yeah. Some states adopted workarounds after the decision.

This is an interesting statement on several levels:

1) It shows very poorly chosen one's resourcefulness in pioneering a new platform from which to exercise his free speech rights.

2) It illustrates the crosscurents within the Republikaner © Party on the issue of voting suppression. For very poorly chosen one and his followers the imperfections in the Georgia law lie in the fact that it doesn't go far enough in suppressing the vote.

3) Kemp has tried to navigate all this. Losing the ASG has to be very painful to him in light of his successful efforts to take out the more objectionable elements of the various proposals before the legislature. I think Kemp may yet find it to be to his political advantage to be caught between the crazy trumpophiles and the woke Dems. It is noteworthy that some of the leading Dems in Georgia (Abrams and Ossoff I believe) did not advocate for a boycott and indeed tried to slow the rush to one. They did get behind MLB once they announced their decision. My hope is that all this opens up some political space for Kemp, Raffensperger and Duncan. It will be interesting to see how those three fare if they get primaried by someone more in line with the trumpophilic wing of the party. I should probably say when not if.

Raffensberger doesn’t deserve to hold office. The fact you don’t care about his egregious lying is telling.
