Rocky De La Fuente submitted approximately 14,000 signatures to be on the Georgia ballot as an independent presidential candidate. The signatures were submitted by the July 12 deadline. But De La Fuente did not submit the names of his presidential elector candidates by July 1, and Georgia requires those names by that date.

Nevertheless, the state is checking his petition. Georgia and Arizona are the only states that require the names of presidential elector candidates to be submitted that early, and this year Arizona agreed not to enforce the presidential elector deadline, after the Green Party sued and Arizona decided not to enforce the presidential elector deadline.
