On April 18, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp signed HB 1312. Among other things, it says there will be no Public Service Commission elections this year. The state has five commissioners, all elected in partisan statewide elections. They have six-year staggered terms and normally there would be a seat open this year, and in every even year. The rationale for the bill is that a U.S. District Court judge had ruled that the elections had to be in districts, although the Eleventh Circuit then overturned that.
It is somewhat likely that a lawsuit will be filed to reinstate the 2024 election for Public Service Commission, because the State Constitution mandates an election, and there is no good reason why there should not be an election this year for that office.
If the office is not restored to the November 2024 ballot, it will be difficult for the Libertarian Party to retain its status as a party that is ballot-qualified for statewide office. The only other statewide office up this year is President, and the Georgia Libertarian Party has only once polled enough votes for president to retain its status. That was in 2016. The requirement is votes equal to 1% of the number of registered voters, which generally works out to 1.5% of the total vote cast in a presidential election year.
If the LP nominated Trump, as would be the most logical choice, would that retain ballot access?
Last paragraph, first sentence: I think you meant status rather than stats.
thank you, Ron.
You’re welcome.

@Question
No, Georgia does not have fusion voting. Only in New York and Connecticut could a third party nominate Trump and get rewarded with future ballot access.
I thought there were a few more fusion states than that but maybe not.
WHAT PCT OF GERRYMANDER AREAS IN NY HAVE THE 3RD PARTY FUSION CANDIDATE GET MORE VOTES THAN THE D OR R CANDIDATE ???
MORE LIKELY WHERE D OR R IS UNDER 25 PCT ???
