ATLANTA — Georgia Democrats are challenging efforts to place Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and three other candidates on the state’s presidential ballots, part of a nationwide effort to block candidates who could siphon votes from incumbent President Joe Biden .
“They have missed numerous statutory deadlines, skipped filing fees, submitted the wrong names on the nomination petitions, and some failed to hold conventions” Olasanoye said. “None of these candidates are qualified to be on the Georgia ballot.”Condemnation of Trump rally shooting crosses party lines, and blame game and calls for probe beginLarry Sharpe, is outreach director for American Values 2024, an independent political action committee that supports Kennedy.
Bernard Tamas, a professor at Georgia’s Valdosta State University who studies third parties, says such challenges are “standard.” Even if they’re unsuccessful, he said challenges bleed resources from candidates who don’t have as much money to begin with. Tamas said opposition from Democrats appears more intense in 2024, though.Until this year, the only road to getting on the ballot in Georgia was by collecting signatures from 7,500 registered voters statewide.
Meanwhile, the Green Party, which has nominated Stein, says it aims to make Georgia ballots using the 20-state rule. Democrats argue De la Cruz’s Party for Socialism and Liberation and Stein’s Green Party haven’t properly registered as political parties in Georgia and didn’t publish required legal advertisements before their conventions. They say that bars each from qualifying for Georgia’s ballot under the 20-state rule.
