Georgia Republicans Throw Raffensperger Out

The Delegates of the several counties of the Great State of Georgia, assembled in State Convention have Resolved:

Whereas, Brad Raffensperger does not have the faith and confidence of the Georgia Republican Party; and

Whereas, the First Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the ability of
political parties to choose their own nominees for office without government interference and;1

Whereas, Freedom of Association means that it would be unconstitutional for legislation or
politicians to require the Georgia Republican Party to associate with any person that the Georgia Republican Party deems repugnant to its brand or to the principles of the United States of America; and,

Whereas, the Georgia Republican Party will lose elections if its brand is not maintained;
therefore,

It is resolved that the Georgia Republican Party shall not qualify, allow to be qualified, or take any action to allow Brad Raffensperger to qualify as a Republican or run for any elected office unless and until a GAGOP Convention removes this restriction; and,

Be it further resolved that the Georgia Republican Party shall fully defend against any future litigation or legal action taken by Brad Raffensperger or others that in any way claims that the Georgia Republican Party is or can be required to allow Brad Raffensperger to run for public office as a Republican.
