Which state Republican party is the most extreme?

[I’m not Stu]

Which state has the most extreme GOP?

[DavidB.]

The one that selected Roy Moore.

[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

The one that selected Roy Moore.

Somewhere in the Deep South.  An interesting counter one is which GOP is most moderate.  I would probably say Vermont, Massachusetts, and perhaps Maryland.  Maybe California, certainly Arnold Schwarznegger was quite moderate compared to much of the party but Pete Wilson was fairly right wing so not sure if they've swung rightward since.  Mind you the GOP is increasingly becoming an endangered species in California.

I would probably say somewhere in the deep south, but I feel like Maine's Republican party is pretty far out there, and is definitely the state whose GOP is farthest to the right relative to the state as a whole.

If we base this on the actions of the party then probably North Carolina for its gerrymandering, strict Voter ID laws, gay marriage referendum and HB2.

Yeah, I was actually going to say NC.

Alabama or North Carolina.

Out of those you mentioned, i'd say Vermont for the most moderate. Phil Scott as a example is by all means in favor of mostly socially liberal policy's (for a republican), is mostly 'ok' with legislatively legalizing Marijuana, supported the Recovery act, and (again as a republican) supports expanded healthcare insurance. Mass, Conn, and also Maryland as you mentioned are up their also. Though California as you eluded too is far from the 'liberalness" of the state party's already mentioned.

As to the OP, i'd say states like Alabama, Oklahoma, and Kansas top the list.

[MATTROSE94]

Probably Alabama, West Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina, and Maine.

[henster]

NC is probably the most aggressive and ruthless.

[Suburbia]

NC GOP

AL GOP

TX GOP

Oklahoma.

I agree, but if you count D.C., their Republican Party (while pretty much powerless) is by far the most moderate of any state/territorial party.

Kansas GOP has some extremists, but also quite a few moderates. One party dominates but with a big enough tent that moderate Republicans and Democrats can band together to oppose the right-wing.

Probably Alabama, West Virginia, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, North Carolina, and Maine.

Sen. Capito and Rep. McKinley are both somewhat moderate and not atypical of a lot of the party there. 

[nclib]

Not sure why people are saying Maine, which elects Susan Collins. Unless they're focusing only on state-level politicians.

I would say North Carolina, especially compared to the state as a whole.

[Sumner 1868]

I think the answer may actually be Montana. The militia influx of the 90s, the more recent alt-right relocation to the Flathead Valley, and a large number of Mormons (include FLDS compounds) and evangelicals give the state all the different variants of far-right thinking.

There's also Greg Gianforte, the worst congressman (arguably) in the United States.
