Georgia GOP’s attempt to block Brad Raffensperger from running as a Republican may go nowhere

ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s Republican Party says Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger should not be able to run under the party’s banner anymore, but the party’s chairman says the attempt to kick out the state’s chief election official is going nowhere.

Delegates voted overwhelmingly at the state GOP convention on Saturday in Dalton to adopt a series of resolutions, including one declaring the party shall not “take any action to allow Brad Raffensperger to qualify as a Republican” for future elections.

The resolution shows the deep hostility many Republican activists have toward Raffensperger following his refusal to help Donald Trump overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia. Alex Johnson chairs the Georgia Republican Assembly, a group that tries to influence the party. He said Raffensperger has been “generally ignoring and disrespecting” the party, including attempts to change the election system, and that Republicans should be allowed to divorce Raffensperger.

1. Purity Test Fail!

Looks like the purity tests are eating their own again. Raffensperger did the bare minimum—upheld the law—and for that, the MAGA cult wants him gone. This is what happens when loyalty to one man outweighs loyalty to democracy. The GOP isn't a party anymore, it's a personality cult with mandatory blind allegiance. Disagree once and you're excommunicated.
