“His suit argues that the state law binding him to the primary results violates his First Amendment right to vote his “conscience, free from government compulsion.””
He’s an idiot. The GOP is a private organization and he was appointed to be a delegate in a private organization where he must follow the rules of that organization. His option is to resign as a delegate if he doesn’t like the rules.
I doubt a competent judge would even take the case if this is even remotely his reasoning. There is no compulsion from government.
Agreed.
I just don’t see how there is any federal legal violation here. Political parties can choose their candidates for office in any way they decide. There is no requirement that an election or caucus be held. They can pick candidates in a smoke filled room. They can choose candidates by coin flip or drawing straws. So I don’t see how this can go anywhere in court.
The scary thing is that this moron is an attorney and former prosecutor.

And, he can vote his conscience at the polls like everyone else......
That’s right.
