“Georgia voters are likely to be able to choose from five candidates for president after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Thursday put Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz back on the ballot. Raffensperger, an elected Republican, overruled findings made last week by an administrative law judge that removed West and De la Cruz. West is running as an independent. De la Cruz is the nominee of the Party for Socialism and Liberation but has qualified as an independent in Georgia. However, Raffensperger upheld Judge Michael Malihi’s finding that Green Party nominee Jill Stein should be barred from ballots. … If the decisions stand, Georgia voters will have five choices for president — Trump, West, De la Cruz, Democrat Kamala Harris and Libertarian Chase Oliver. It would be the first time since 1948 that Georgians would have more than four choices for president.” (08/29/24)
