Remove Republican Party from Ballot
August 26, 2022 S.Ct SCEC-22-0000498 [ADA] Decker IV v. State of Hawai‘i Office of Elections (Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Judgment). -- Plaintiff asserts that the Hawaii Republican Party “should not have been placed on the 2022 Primary ballot, and should have been disqualified as an active party that is not in compliance and is not in good standing as a ‘Party.’” (NOTE: Dan Decker, National Committee Chair and US Senate Candidate of the Aloha Aina Party, makes nearly identical claims as the Dicks suit below. This implies coordination.)
Remove Republican Party from Ballot

State of Hawai‘i Office of Elections (Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Judgment). -- Plaintiffs assert that the Hawaii Republican Party “should not have been placed on the 2022 Primary ballot, and should have been disqualified as an active party that is not in compliance and is not in good standing as a ‘Party.’” (NOTE: Failed plaintiff Karl Dicks is a member of the Hawaii Republican State Committee and District 46 Chair. Will he be expelled from the Republican Party for seeking its removal from the ballot?)
