The legislature has finally acted and closed our primaries to protect the integrity of our party nominations. I know how much it meant to you to ensure that only Republicans decide our candidates. We have secured the win we fought for together.

We, the undersigned Republican Activists, demand that Georgia's Legislature pass legislation that would end the open primary system in Georgia.
Republicans should choose their nominee and Democrats should choose their nominees.
We strongly support a primary system like Florida has.
Closed primaries vs. open primaries: What's the difference? | wtsp.com
In the May 24th GOP Primary, estimates are there were a minimum of 300,000 Democrats that crossed over and voted in the Republican Primary. Just in South Cobb, DeKalb, and South Fulton, there were 118,000 reliable Democrat voters identified that voted in the Republican Primary.
We encourage Georgia GOP officials in all levels of the GOP to speak out and support this change.
We encourage GOP candidates and GOP nominees asking for our votes in the GOP Primary runoffs and General Election to speak out and support such change.

Seeing one thousand signatures pop up on this page tells me that I am not the only one frustrated by what happened in our last primary. It is encouraging to see this many people agree that our party nominations belong to us alone.

Seeing this level of movement reminds me why I started this fight in the first place. It is heartening to see so many of you finally demanding that our party nominations belong to our own people.

I am originally from Florida. When I moved to GA, I was surprised that no matter what party you belonged to you could choose to vote in another party's primary. Why should someone who is a member of another political party be able to help choose your party's candidate?
As the former Regional Field Director for the 6th, 11th, and 14th congressional districts in Georgia for the David Perdue campaign, I am more than happy to vote in favor of closed primaries. America First! Georgia First!
This is something that should have been done years ago. I’ve talked to many devoted democrats that are proud of voting Republican to try and sway the iut come of the Republican primary. I never hear if republicans doing that to democrats. Just like there are RINOS but show me one DINO!
Republicans are not electing their candidates. This is the only thing that will cause me to rejoin the Republicans in Georgia. I dropped out some years because I saw no reason to continue being a member. Close the primary and I will see a reason to rejoin.
If voters from one party can vote in the other party, these voters can significantly affect the outcome of the primary. These voters of the opposite party can all vote for a candidate that is not the desired candidate of the party they crossed over to.
Yes!!! That was my Resolution which passed unanimously at the 14th District Convention!

The Republican Party needs to address it his issue because the Democrat party clearly knows they can’t win elections with their own ideas so they have to sabotage Republican parties in order to deliver the weaker candidate.
