Kansas, Alaska, South Carolina, Arizona, and Nevada have all
canceled their Republican primaries/caucuses for 2020.

The demonrats are tired of stuffing ballot boxes, they are just going to create blue states.
Who is going to contest them?
Kasich/Flake 20!
Good. SC can save a few bucks. Maybe we will get another $50 rebate.
ps
No other state in the union would rebate a tax wind fall. I love SC.
Winning never grows old.
So do I. Been here since Sep of 2003. SC can't be beat. Great people, super weather.
For cryin out loud, its not a coronation. We will still vote on Election Day but we dont need a primary. Trump is THE GOP candidate why should I go vote when we know that? Well still go vote in the General election in November when both Trump and the winner from the democrat clown car show are on the ballot. The cancellation is for the 2020 Primary. It is not a decision to never, ever have one again. This saves the SC GOP from wasting money. Get a grip.
I agree. That wasn't my point.
"The reason that probably most patriots today accept primary elections as constitutional is that we grew up with this constitutionally baseless process and consequently wrongly think that primaries are somehow constitutional."
I am not so sure about presidential primaries being unconstitutional...
Amendment XXIV
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote in any primary or other election for President or Vice President, for electors for President or Vice President, or for Senator or Representative in Congress, shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any state by reason of failure to pay any poll tax or other tax.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

You’re right. I should have said “What is the SC GOP afraid of?
Suppose President Trump has a heart attack or worse?
