Bloodless Coup

Rodney Alexander's Comeuppance?

Earlier I noted Congressman Rodney Alexander's despicable behavior, switching parties in a way that essentially blocked any sort of real two-party competition in his district this year. It turns out that he might have been too clever by half. You can find posts here and here discussing the very real possibility that his actions violated Louisiana election law. A lawsuit has been filed, and it appears entirely possible that he'll be removed from the November ballot. To a man who has such little respect for fair elections I say good riddance.
