On Wednesday, the Georgia Supreme Court unanimously decided that any seats cast for either candidate’s individuals Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz do not count toward the state’s vote. As a result, any votes cast for either prospect will not be counted. Democrats have launched lawfare campaigns in several states where they fear they may injure Vice President Kamala Harris ‘ chances of winning.
After Democrats had challenged the applicants, the jury determined that West and De la Cruz‘s presidential electors had not properly submitted petitions with the necessary signatures. Each voter was required to file a separate petition with the necessary signatures in order to be eligible for the ballot, according to the court. That means each of West and De la Cruz‘s 16 votes needed to record specific requests with 7, 500 names. However, West and De la Cruz merely submitted one complaint in response to the advice of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
The court ruled that” we now hold that each presidential elector for an independent candidate running for the office of President of the United States is a” candidate” required to file a nomination petition in his or her own name in the form prescribed in Code Section 212-170,” the court ruled.
The court ordered Raffensperger to post notices warning voters that West and De la Cruz votes wo n’t count because new ballots without the candidates ‘ names wo n’t be printed in time for the Nov. 5 election.
West and De la Cruz have not yet made a speech regarding the decision. Both candidates previously decried Democrats ‘ lawfare attempts after Raffensperger allowed both candidates to appear on the ballot despite a decision from an administrative law judge that the pair were unsuitable, according to Georgia Recorder.
According to the Georgia Recorder, De la Cruz stated,” The Democratic Party wanted to restrict the choices available to Georgia voters because they did n’t want to compete with a socialist campaign that offers real solutions to the enormous problems facing working people.”
De la Cruz apparently continued,” We are glad to have stood up for our freedom and the right of everyone in Georgia to vote for the candidate of their choosing.” ” But this is not the fight’s conclusion,” she continued. We are preparing to fight any constitutional challenge brought by the Democratic Party’s well-funded legal team, which is suing next parties all over the country.
Democrats have now removed West from the Michigan ballot after he was disputed in court documents. Pennsylvania’s Democrat-controlled high court even recently kicked West off the vote over a document issue, according to the Washington Examiner. De la Cruz and James Clymer, who are both running for the party, were likewise prohibited by the judge, according to the court’s ruling.
But it’s not just West, De la Cruz, and Clymer who have been subjects of Democrats ‘ lawfare. According to my partner Shawn Fleetwood, the state’s Supreme Court “agreed with state Democrats ‘ says that the Green Party used incorrect petition speech on its unique petition.” But as Fleetwood explains,” The petition language used by the second group, however, was provided by the company of Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar, a Democrat”.
However, after fighting to find Robert F. Kennedy Jr. off the vote, Democrats are presently working overtime to keep his name on the ballot in important swing state. Kennedy endorsed former US President Donald Trump and announced he would be withdrawing from the competition in important swing states. Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson was allowed to keep Kennedy’s brand on the ballot by the Michigan Supreme Court, for instance, despite his concerns.
