I am wholly unclear on how there’s any grounds to litigate about the RNC running a debate. Political parties and their internal operations around how they run their own debates isn’t covered by any law, is it?
I was curious and it turns out that the FEC does have regulation regarding public debates.
The part that would be relevant doesn’t seem to apply, though:
So, I guess there is a law that could be potentionally sued over, but I don’t see how the RNC doesn’t fall within the guidelines. I’m not a lawyer.
