Cornel West Disqualified from Georgia Ballot

Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz have been disqualified from Georgia's presidential ballot due to improper paperwork filed by their electors, according to a ruling by Fulton County Superior Court Judges. Although their names will remain on the ballot, votes for them will not be counted, prompting the judges to order postings at polling places to inform voters. If upheld, the candidates on the Georgia ballot will include Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, Chase Oliver, and Jill Stein, marking the largest number of presidential candidates since 2000. Both West and De la Cruz plan to appeal the decision, claiming it undermines democratic rights. The ruling follows a tumultuous period regarding ballot access for independent candidates in Georgia, which has seen previous administrative disagreements on the matter.
