Political News and Conservative Analysis About Congress, the President, and the Federal Government
In a unanimous vote, the court determined that while West and De la Cruz met the minimum requirement of collecting 7,500 petition signatures to qualify for the ballot, neither submitted those signatures in the name of one of the 16 possible state electors, as required by state law.
“But the defect that prevents independent presidential candidates West and De la Cruz from appearing on Georgia’s ballot does not pertain to the number of signatures acquired; it is that West’s electors and De la Cruz’s electors filed no nomination petitions at all,” Justice Sarah Warren wrote. “No constitutional challenge to the current statutory scheme for qualifying candidates for the office of elector of independent candidates for president is properly before this court in these cases,” Warren wrote. “We therefore express no view on any such constitutional questions today.”
Instead, Raffensperger will be issuing notices to all polling locations and mail-out ballots that votes for De la Cruz or West will be counted.
