On April 16, the Eleventh Circuit dissolved the stay that the U.S. District Court had issued, relative to whether Georgia can hold elections this year for Public Service Commissioner. This means the state is now free to hold at-large elections for that office this year. Rose v Raffensperger, 22-12593.
The Libertarian Party always polls enough votes for Public Service Commissioner in Georgia to retain its qualified statewide status, so this is good news for the Libertarian Party. There are no other statewide elections this year in Georgia, other than President. The party only once polled enough votes for President to meet the vote test, in 2016.
SINCE WHEN DOES VOTING FOR A SPECIFIC PUBLIC OFFICE SHOW SUPPORT FOR A POLITICAL PARTY — IE ITS PLATFORM / BYLAWS / PARTY OFFICERS ???

But does it matter if the Georgia legislature already moved the date of the PSC election to 2025?

I tend to think the Governor will veto the bill.
Why do you think that?
