Administrative Law Judge Hears Georgia Challenge to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Claudia De la Cruz Petitions

On August 19, an administrative law judge heard a Democratic Party challenge to the independent petition of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.  See this story.  The administrative law judge will make a recommendation to the Secretary of State.  On the same day he also heard a challenge to the Claudia De la Cruz petition.  She is the nominee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.

There will be similar hearings in a few days to challenge the status of the Green Party, and the petition of Cornel West.

The objector is claiming that each candidate for presidential elector needed his or her own separate petition, but when independent presidential candidates have petitioned in the past, they listed all their elector candidates on a single petition.  The last independent presidential candidate who qualified by petition in Georgia was Pat Buchanan in 2000.

  1. “The objector is claiming that each candidate for presidential elector needed his or her own separate petition, but when independent presidential candidates have petitioned in the past, they listed all their elector candidates on a single petition.”

    This absurd challenge reeks of desperation.
