Democrats Deploy Their Mississippi Strategy Against Jody Hice in Georgia
redstate.com ^ | 7/10/14 | Erick Erickson

The Georgia Republican runoff is less than two weeks away on July 22, 2014. Having successfully swung the Mississippi Senate runoff against the conservative, Democrats in Georgia are coordinating with the GOP establishment to defeat the conservative running in Georgia’s tenth congressional district.

Jody Hice, the undisputed conservative in the race to replace Congressman Paul Broun, is . . . well . . . a conservative. His opponent, Mike Collins, is the son of a congressman who goes around the district talking about what friends he is with various House committee chairmen in DC, etc.

In an organized effort, an outside group has begun mailing Democrats absentee ballot applications. The mail piece explains to Democrats that there is no chance a Democrat will win in the district (true, Paul Broun won it several times) and the only way to stop conservatives from winning is to support Mike Collins.

Having seen the results of Mississippi, moderate and liberal Republicans are throwing in with the Democrats to beat Jody Hice.

Conservatives can absolutely win this district. And they should win this district. But in an open runoff, Democrats are going to try to beat us. We need to do what we can to help Jody Hice.

The GOPe is showing once again that they have more in common with liberal Rats than with conservatives.

The ALLIANCE between the DemocRATS and the GOPe RINOs is becoming more and more apparent.

We need to have a concerted effort in all states that have “open” primaries to change to “closed” primaries where the parties choose their own candidates. This will close out this one avenue of control used by the RINO-DemocRAT CONGLOMERATE to maintain their grip on power for them and their cronies.

Since the RINOs love the Democrats so much, in November, Conservatives should accommodate them and vote for the Dem candidate. If Thad Cochran gets to keep this Primary win and is on the ballot in November, I would love to see him lose to the Pro-Life, Pro-2nd Amendment Democrat candidate.

HE WHO DOES NOT LIKE REVENGE HAS NEVER TASTED IT!

Desperate, win at any cost RINOs will use this strategy anywhere there are open primaries. However, in Georgia, if the Democrats voted in their Democratic primary in May, they can not cross over and vote in the Republican runoff and visa versa. Democrats can vote in the GOP runoff if they did not vote in May.

The Republican-Democrat Party merger is almost formal now.

“However, in Georgia, if the Democrats voted in their Democratic primary in May, they can not cross over and vote in the Republican runoff and visa versa. Democrats can vote in the GOP runoff if they did not vote in May.”

I’m pretty sure that was also the case in MS.

You realize that is the exact same set of rules they have in Mississippi. When the major powers work together, they can easily get around any little problem like voting in both party's primaries.

In Thad Cochran's case, his people requested that the records from the original primary not be given to those working the polling places. That way people working the polling place could not tell who had voted for the democrat party in the original primary which freed the dems up to vote for Thad.

Sorry to see so many open primaries in conservative areas while the lib north east is closed primary. I'm certain this is by design. The reason we can't get rid of rigged voting is that the rigging is for the benefit of the UniParty. Neither of its branches, republican or democrat, have any desire to correct it.

Isn’t this what they’re doing to Trump now?
