Georgia Supreme Court Says Votes for Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz Can’t be Counted

On September 25, the Georgia Supreme Court issued an opinion in Al-Bari v Pigg, S25A0177. It agrees with the lower court that independent presidential candidates cannot petition in Georgia. Instead, only independent presidential elector candidates may petition.

Because the ballots are already being printed, the candidates who had petitioned are on the ballot. The Court said votes for them should not be counted. The two presidential candidates who petitioned, and who were told they had enough valid signatures, are Claudia De la Cruz and Cornel West.

This is another instance at which the candidates followed the instructions of the Secretary of State, and yet were kept off the ballot even though they submitted enough signatures.

  1. ONE MORE REASON TO ABOLISH THE CORRUPT/INSANE EC —

    WITH ALL OF ITS LEGIS/EXEC/JUDIC MACHINATIONS –

    ESP IN STONE AGE REGIMES LIKE GA

  2. “The Court said votes for them should not be counted.”

    Inane. Insane. Insufferable.

    If the court wanted to order that, they should have ruled on this before Georgia’s petitioning window even commenced.

  3. Will they reported as “void” votes? Presumably, the total number of ballots cast needs to be counted, whether or not the votes are considered valid.

  4. West an and de la Cruz trying to sneak on the ballot using an incorrect method? I agree, that’s left wing cheating. They tried to cheat and got caught. I’m glad they got caught!
