The Williamson County GOP battle intensifies as the establishment slate spreads misinformation to oppose caucuses. Their fear tactics mirror Democrat voter suppression claims, but the truth is clear—caucuses protect Republican primaries from Democrat interference.
As the battle for control over the Williamson County GOP intensifies, a deliberate misinformation campaign has emerged from those supporting the establishment slate—self-identified as “Williamson County Conservatives.” Their messaging, however, bears a striking resemblance to the rhetoric used by Democrats when attacking voter integrity laws.
At the center of this campaign is Bev Burger, a Franklin Alderman and member of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA), who recently circulated an email falsely asserting that caucuses are a means to “take away” Republicans’ right to vote in primaries.
This argument mirrors the Democrat talking points that falsely claim Voter ID laws suppress minority voters. Just as Democrats manipulate election law debates to maintain electoral advantages, Burger and her allies are employing the same tactics—suggesting, without basis, that caucuses “suppress” Republican voters. The claim is both misleading and intellectually dishonest.
Caucuses: A Well-Established Electoral Process
An examination of American political history reveals that caucuses have played a significant role in electoral politicssince the nation's founding. They increase engagement by allowing Republican voters—rather than a small circle of party insiders or Democrat crossover voters—to choose candidates who truly represent their values.
Yet, Burger and the establishment slate now claim that caucuses would “take away your right to vote,” a line eerily similar to the Democrat narrative that requiring identification at the polls constitutes voter suppression. The facts, however, tell a different story:
✔ Caucuses do not eliminate voting—they increase grassroots engagement.
✔ Caucuses do not allow a board to pick nominees—Republican voters still decide.
✔ Caucuses prevent election interference—they stop Democrats from voting in Republican primaries to weaken conservative candidates.
The True Motivation: Controlling Who Picks Republican Nominees
Burger and her establishment allies do not want Republican voters to understand how Tennessee’s open primary system undermines true conservative representation. Under current rules:
✔ Democrats can vote in Republican primaries.
✔ Democrat crossover votes have determined key elections, such as the August 2022 primary, where 1,200 Democrats crossed over to support Jack Johnson over grassroots challenger Gary Humble.
✔ This system enables moderate, establishment-backed candidates to win—not because of Republican support, but due to Democrat interference.
The real reason the establishment slate opposes caucuses is not because they believe in protecting Republican voting rights. Rather, they depend on Democrat voters to win primaries and know that a caucus system would strip them of that advantage.
If Williamson County adopts a caucus system, the impact is clear:
✔ Republican candidates would be selected exclusively by Republican voters.
✔ True grassroots conservatives would have a greater influence in the nomination process.
✔ The establishment would no longer be able to rely on Democrats to secure victories.
Establishment Misinformation and Fear Tactics
To counteract the growing momentum for reform, the establishment slate has resorted to fear-based misinformation,using misleading arguments to sow confusion and distrust among Republican voters. Their misleading claimsinclude:
🚨 False Claim: “Caucuses eliminate your right to vote.”
✅ Reality: Republican voters still vote—just without Democrat interference.
🚨 False Claim: “Caucuses disenfranchise Republican voters.”
✅ Reality: Caucuses empower Republican voters by ensuring their nominee is actually conservative.
🚨 False Claim: “Caucuses mean a small board picks the candidate.”
✅ Reality: Caucuses involve Republican voters gathering, deliberating, and choosing their nominee—just like the Iowa presidential caucus.
These arguments closely mirror the talking points used by Democrats when they claim that Voter ID laws or signature verification requirements “suppress” voting. In truth, election integrity laws strengthen the security and fairness of elections—just as caucuses strengthen the Republican nomination process.
Why the Establishment Fears Caucuses
If caucuses do not suppress Republican votes, why is the establishment so vehemently opposed to them? The answer is simple:
✔ They know they cannot win in a system where only Republican voters decide Republican nominees.
✔ They rely on Democrat crossover votes to win primaries.
✔ They depend on misleading uninformed voters into protecting a system that weakens true conservative candidates.
Rather than engaging in honest debate, the establishment slate has chosen to engage in fear tactics and misinformation—strategies reminiscent of Democrat election narratives—to create manufactured outrage and opposition.
The Central Question: Who Should Pick Republican Nominees?
At the heart of this debate is a fundamental question:
✔ Should Republican nominees be chosen by Republican voters?
✔ Or should Democrats and establishment-backed politicians continue to manipulate the system?
Bev Burger and the establishment slate do not want voters asking this question, because the answer exposes their entire strategy. Instead, they are using dishonest fearmongering to trick conservatives into defending a system that allows Democrats to control Republican elections.
Williamson County Voters Deserve the Truth
The fight over caucuses is not just about process—it is about the future of the Republican Party in Williamson County. Voters must see through the misinformation and reject the establishment’s fear tactics.
The choice is clear:
✔ Either Republican voters take back control of their own party
✔ Or they allow Democrats and establishment insiders to continue calling the shots.
Williamson County deserves better. Republican voters must stand firm in demanding a system that protects the integrity of their elections—one that ensures Republican candidates are chosen by Republican voters, not by Democrats seeking to weaken conservative leadership.
