In Georgia, nominees for Governor and Lieutenant Governor may receive unlimited donations if they are the nominees of a party that polled 20% of the vote in the last election for president in the entire U.S., or for Governor of Georgia. But other nominees for Governor and Lieutenant Governor are limited to receiving contributions no greater than $7,600.

On September 8, the Libertarian nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Ryan Graham, filed a federal lawsuit, challenging the unequal treatment. Graham v Carr, n.d., 1:22cv-3613. It is assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Mark H. Cohen, an Obama appointee. Here is the Complaint. UPDATE: here is a news story.

No Labels Party is currently petitioning for party status in approximately ten states. Like Americans Elect in 2011-2012, it holds itself out as a supporter of a centrist independent presidential ticket in 2024.

The No Labels website invites people to hear from the group’s leaders. If one clicks on the “play” button, one sees and hears about 65 individuals, one at a time, each expressing support for No Labels and what it wishes to do. Each individual is only seen and heard for about six or seven seconds.

One of the individuals is former North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory, who was elected Governor as a Republican in 2012. He appears toward the end.

The Atlanta Press Club has invited all three ballot-listed U.S. Senate candidates into its October 16 debate. Also the Merceer University Center for Collaborative Journalism has invited all three into its October 13 debate.

So far, the Democratic nominee, Senator Raphael Warnock, has agreed to participate in these two debates, but the Republican nominee, Herschel Walker, has not.
