They are floating the idea of no "D" or "R" beside the name on the local candidate ballot?

AP: With Dems steadily wiping out GOP in the core Atlanta counties of swing-state Georgia, Republicans have a new idea: Make most local candidates run for office without party labels.

GOP can't win with an "R" by their name so they want to take away the "R."

The lack of shame to just cheat by the GOP is stunning. We do t want parties to be known now that our side is viewed poorly but had the Dems done this in 2010 they would’ve raised holy hell
