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.
