On September 11, a Fulton County Superior Court removed all petitioning presidential candidates from the ballot. Pigg v Raffensperger, 24cv-011040, is the decision involving Claudia De la Cruz, the Party for Socialism & Liberation nominee. See it here. There is a similar opinion that removes Cornel West from the ballot.
It says that independent presidential candidates are not suppose to circulate a petition in their own name. Instead they must submit petitions for particular candidates for presidential elector, which would mean that if an independent candidate wanted to run a full slate of electors, he or she would need 16 separate petitions (because Georgia has 16 electoral votes). The opinion also says it is sufficient if the presidential candidate only has one candidate for presidential elector, and with just a single elector candidate, the presidential candidate can be on the ballot.
Ironically, this petition is exactly the opposite of the Pennsylvania elections office, which believes that presidential candidates can’t be on the ballot without a full slate of electors.
The Georgia case is being appealed. This decision has no effect on the Green Party because the Green Party is fighting to place Jill Stein on the ballot under a different law, the one that says a party is on automatically for president if it is on for president in at least 20 other states. Also it has no effect on the Libertarian Party, which is ballot-qualified in Georgia for all the statewide offices.
What is WITH Georgia this year? They are making all the weirdest decisions. There’s probably a 70% chance that Trump wins the state, but this is just schizophrenic.
I’m not a big conspiracy person, but i can’t help but think that there are forces in Georgia trying to screw things up so bad that the election is resolved in court.
ONE MORE REASON TO ABOLISH THE NOW SUPER-BYZANTINE MINORITY RULE EC
So are the Greens still on the Georgia ballot for now?

Jill Stein is on the Georgia ballot for now, but Democrats say they will soon sue to remove her also.
Georgia has a historic reputation for being a hard-ass ballot access state for minor party candidates.
DemocRATs can’t STAND that Governor Kemp approved that law that if you’re on 20 other state ballots, you’re automatically on the ballot in Georgia. Their delusional arses are trying to pretend that Dr. Stein isn’t on 20+ ballots 🤣.
All the best to Claudia too, we know how insecure she and Dr. Stein make the anti-Democratic party. Are they also trying to go over Dr. West in Georgia? because I think he’s doing the same petition as Claudia.
I’m beginning to think that Georgia should be divided into two new states; West Georgia, which would include The Atlanta and Columbus areas, and East Georgia, which would include everything else.
