JUDICIAL DECISIONS
EDITOR'S NOTES. --In light of the similarity of the provisions, decisions decided under former Code 1933, Title 34 are included in the annotations for this part.
APPLICABILITY OF STATE ELECTION LAWS TO PARTY PRIMARY. --Whenever a political party holds a primary in this state, it is by law an integral part of the election machinery. Once a decision to hold a primary is made, state statutes take hold and direct every essential step from registration and qualification of voters to the placing of the names of the nominees on the general election ballot. King v. Chapman, 62 F. Supp. 639 (M.D. Ga. 1945), aff'd, 154 F.2d 460 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 327 U.S. 800, 66 S. Ct. 905, 90 L. Ed. 1025 (1946) (decided under former Code 1933, Title 34).
