KY State Senator abandons GOP
It doesn't happen often, but it's certainly interesting when someone becomes so fed up with the GOP that he or she has to leave the party (a la Jim Jeffords). As the AP reports, a state legislator in Kentucky has done just that.
A state senator whose party switch 5 1/2 years ago helped the GOP take control of the chamber said Wednesday he will leave the Republican Party over its actions in a disputed election.This may just be a symbolic act, but to the people of Kentucky, I'm sure this move was quite significant. Kudos to Mr. Leeper for putting his convictions into action.
Sen. Bob Leeper said he will register as an independent later this week.
His protest came after Senate Republicans voted to seat the GOP candidate who received the most votes in a Jefferson County election in November, even though courts have ruled Dana Seum Stephenson did not meet constitutional residency requirements.
