Yes they haven’t figured out how to respond to this one yet. Highly uniusual!
I have a nay-say.
‘bam n’crew will simply ignore the declaration.
If the sheriff follows through and scrubs ‘bam from the ballot:
1. will Republicans and squishy centroids go to the trouble to cast their ballot in an uncontested election?
2. Could the lack of a rival party provide grounds for the dims go to court, seeking to disqualify all votes from that county?
3. What would ‘bam lose from not getting his name on the ballot of a largely conservative district? How would that compare to further vilification in the press, a lower turnout, and the possibility of a court decision to disqualify all votes that the Republicans risk.
I know nothing of the legal snares the dims could exploit to monkey-wrench this, but I’m certain they’ll use all they can come up with?
Let’s face it, Republicans are not as good at tactics as the dims. Best we stay on course and let ‘bam hang himself.
Eyes on the prize. `
