Presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz are disqualified from running for president in Georgia, two state court judges ruled Wednesday, saying that their electors didn’t file the proper paperwork.
Wednesday's rulings were the latest turn in the on-again, off-again saga of ballot access for independent and third-party candidates in Georgia. An administrative law judge disqualified West, De la Cruz, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the Georgia Green Party from the ballot. But Raffensperger, who gets the last word in such matters, overruled the judge, and said West and De la Cruz should get access.
Raffensperger also ruled that under a new Georgia law, Stein should go on Georgia ballots because the national Green Party had qualified her in at least 20 other states.
Raffensperger is turning out to be more reasonable than I ever dared dream. I wonder why?
Do third-party candidates ever fight to be on ballots in non-swing states? 🤔
Non-swing states usually aren't so determined to keep them off the ballot. So they are on non-swing state ballots without having to fight for it.
Hmm... If you look at the states West is certified in, it looks like there are loads of non-swing states where he's not on the ballot and is running a write-in campaign. Stein has quite a few like that, too. 🤔
Let me guess. You think they are doing it ONLY to get Trump to win. Right?
I don't care. I'm not voting for either one.
Either one what?
Trump or Harris.
Neat!

If Georgia goes for Claudia, there's renewed hope that the United States may have more free and fair elections. If we get RCV, we could eradicate money from politics.
De la Cruz and West – both of whom submitted more than the required 7,500 signatures to gain ballot access – have said they are prepared to take the case to the Georgia Supreme Court.

The Georgia Democratic Party didn't let up, making moves to appeal the secretary of state's order.
De la Cruz's running mate, Karina Garcia, slammed the Democrats for trying to strip third-party ballot access: "Unable to defend their pro-corporate and pro-war record, the Democratic Party's desperate plan is to twist the law to remove any alternatives from the ballot to cement the system of two-party rule. Working people are in crises, and neither party has any real answers."
