November 2017 Group Watch: GOP Chair Issues Warning
Republican Party Chair Terry Latham recently warned GOP officials and candidates not to endorse Doug Jones or a write-in campaign for the U.S. Senate race against Roy Moore. She reminded party members that the party reserves the right to deny ballot access to a candidate for public office if in a prior election that person was a Republican office holder and either publicly participated in the primary election of another party or publicly supported a nominee of another party. The provisions of the rule shall apply for a period of six years after such person so participated.
