Lawsuits Filed—So Far—Against SB 27—To Take Trump Off California Primary Ballot

From Scott Lay—The Nooner, 8/6/19

President Trumps’ campaign filed one, the Republican Party filed one, Judicial Watch filed one, plus two private suits were filed. The big problem is timing—when will the courts rule.
