Judge says 4 independent and third-party candidates should be kept off Georgia presidential ballots
ATLANTA (AP) — A judge ruled Monday that four independent and third-party candidates are ineligible to appear on Georgia’s presidential ballot, although the final decision will be up to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The rulings by Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge, would block the qualifications of independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, as well as the Green Party’s Jill Stein and the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Claudia De la Cruz. Kennedy on Friday had said he would seek to withdraw his name in Georgia and some other closely contested states as he endorsed Republican Donald Trump.
