    Good ruling in Georgia for once. #ballotaccess #socialism

    ♻️ On August 29, the Georgia Secretary of State overruled the administrative law judge as to Claudia De la Cruz’ ballot access. She is the nominee of the Party for Socialism & Liberation. The administrative law judge had said that petitioning candidates for president need a separate petition for each candidate for presidential elector. But the Secretary of State said that can’t be right, because in 2016 a federal judge had struck down the state’s ballot access petition requirement and had said that the new requirement will be 7,500 signatures. Forcing a petitioning presidential candidate to submit a separate petition for presidential elector, each with 7,500 signatures, would violate what the federal court had set as the state’s new interim law.

    So far the Secretary of State has not ruled on the petitions for the other candidates, but it seems clear that the same logic will apply as well to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and Cornel West. The issues for Jill Stein are somewhat different. So far there is no ruling from the Secretary of State for her.
