A rule being proposed at the Georgia Republican Party state convention this weekend would allow the convention delegates to strip some statewide candidates from running for office as a Republican.
Though critics say the rule would take power from the voters, supporters say it would give state party delegates leverage over candidates who don't follow the party's values and platform.
Atlanta attorney Alex Johnson, who'll be proposing the rule at the convention in Columbus, Georgia, was introduced by Joanna Hildreth, chairwoman of the Catoosa County Republican Party and secretary of the Georgia Republican Assembly, at a town hall meeting about what's being called the Accountability Rule in Walker County last week.
"So many of you get really frustrated sometimes," Hildreth said at the town hall.
