I would really like to try and get a neutral-party accounting of what is happening here.

Madame Poprick and Mr. Goodnoe et alia ef’ed the Tea Party over by getting an early election day AM injunction via a compliant Judge. The Judge injoined from use the ‘line card’ of Tea Party candidates on a flimsy technicality. Thus voters only had the GOP Party endorsed line card.

The us-before-’them’-ers then used the party network to spread the word quickly and the compliant party poll workers demanded that the Tea Party members stop handing out the line cards.

Later in the day the decision was overturned, but the damage already had been done at that point.

Some also suspect Poprick preloaded some machines.

One of my friends, who is a tea party activist, was running for a local GOP committee position in Bucks County. She ran an active campaign in her community, since she was up against an incumbent. The incumbent assumed she’d be re-elected, and didn’t campaign. On primary election day, my friend encountered a legal challenge against her campaign literature. She won her seat, but definitely ran into last-minute opposition from within the party establishment. This is in the Warminster area.

Read Dr. Sklaroff's account. It's in the comments after Chris Friend's account.

Essentially, for two hours, from 11AM to 1PM election day, unendorsed committee candidate's couldn't use their palm cards, which told people which lever to pull if they wanted to vote for the unendorsed committee candidates.

And for that, Mike Fitzpatrick's winning the seat back should be jeopardized.

Some of those people are with holding support for Fitzpatrick and asking people in their groups to with hold support for Fitzpatrick (who had nothing to do with it), unless he meets some of their demands, one of them being that he join in a lawsuit against the party establishment over the event.

Some anti-establishment types on the right, do what the left does, and make mountains out of molehills, among other dishonest and unsundry tactics. They are as bad as the establishment they are attempting to defeat.
