Larry Klayman: Relegate GOP elites to ash heap of history
Last week, I sued the Republican establishment, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus, the Republican National Committee, the Republican Party of Florida and party and election officers, including the Florida secretary of state, for conspiring to defraud Florida Republican voters of their vote in the Florida Republican primary held on March 15, 2016.
While the winner of that vote was presidential candidate Donald Trump, as alleged in the complaint, which can be found at www.freedomwatchusa.org, it was not filed to support his or any other candidacy. Rather, the complaint, which asked for declaratory relief prior to the Republican National Convention in July, is intended to validate the vote of Republican voters and not allow the Republican establishment to pervert the nomination process and thus democracy by not having their vote count.
It has been widely reported and in fact admitted by the defendants and others that the Republican elites want to take away the right of the people to decide who should be the Republican Party nominee and insert one of their own establishment hacks, someone like widely discredited House Speaker Paul Ryan, who just caved into President Obama during the budget process.
