The Tennessee Republican Party yesterday voted to remove three congressional hopefuls from the primary ballot in the redistricted 5th Congressional District, the Tennessean reports. Official challenges had been filed against Baxter Lee, Morgan Ortagus and Robby Starbuck on the basis of their party bona fides. Those filings triggered a technical removal from the ballot per party bylaws. The party could have restored them to the ballot but declined to do so.
