Recent court rulings in Pennsylvania and Georgia have resulted in third-party candidates being blocked from the upcoming presidential ballots. In Pennsylvania, the Supreme Court upheld decisions to disqualify Constitution Party candidate James Clymer and left-wing candidate Claudia De la Cruz, citing issues with candidate affidavits and party affiliation violations. Similarly, in Georgia, judges ruled against Cornel West and De la Cruz due to paperwork discrepancies, though West's name may still appear on the ballot despite being considered ineligible. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had initially approved their candidacies, but Democratic challenges led to their disqualification. Both candidates plan to appeal the rulings, emphasizing their right to compete in the election. This legal maneuvering reflects ongoing tensions between major parties and third-party candidates, particularly in crucial battleground states.
