At a time when Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to take Georgia, they must also deal with a “Democratic” Congressional candidate in the northern suburbs of Atlanta who favors mass deportations, calls immigrants “invading ungrateful hordes,” and wants to repeal the right to gay marriage.
The Democratic Party is urging voters to write in an actual Democratic candidate, but that takes work and money and detracts from the presidential election. How did this fake Democratic candidate get on the ballot? The general opinion is that in Georgia’s open primary, Republicans crossed over to nominate the kook.
I’ve heard people say that in an open primary, cross-over mischief wouldn’t happen. Of course it does. A primary should be how a party nominates its own candidates. Other parties have no place in that process.
