Sometimes, we even get Republicans to fight these ridiculous rigged election laws for us. David Perdue is now suing Brian Kemp over GAs crazy new law that allows him and party leaders to circumvent GAs campaign finance laws.

The campaign of Republican gubernatorial hopeful David Perdue has filed a lawsuit challenging a controversial law approved last year that has given Gov. Brian Kemps reelection campaign a huge financial boost not available to his GOP challengers.
The lawsuit filed Thursday contends the new law gives Kemp a special, massive advantage when it comes to raising campaign cash, and it asks the courts to level the playing field.
The law approved during the 2020 General Assembly session along partisan lines allows Kemp and a few other top lawmakers and party nominees to create special committees that can raise unlimited contributions from donors, including during legislative sessions.
Kemp signed Senate Bill 221 the leadership committee bill into law without any public notice in May. Facing what will almost certainly be the most expensive gubernatorial reelection fight in Georgia history, his campaign quickly created the Georgians First Leadership Committee in July and has been raising big money from Capitol donors ever since. Challengers, such as Perdue, are not allowed to form such leadership committees under the Georgia law.
