GA Dems Appeal Raffensperger Ballot Decision.

The Georgia Democratic Party really, really doesn’t want Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz on the November ballot.

State Democrats have appealed rulings by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger that allow independent presidential candidate Cornel West and socialist candidate Claudia De la Cruz on ballots in the November election.

The Friday appeal of Raffensperger’s final rulings says the Secretary of State misapplied state law by allowing them to appear on the ballot alongside Democrat Kamala Harris, Republican Donald Trump, Libertarian Chase Oliver and the Green Party’s Jill Stein.

“A judge affirmed that none of these candidates were qualified to be on the Georgia ballot,” Democratic Party of Georgia Executive Director Kevin Olasanoye said in a statement last week. “The secretary of state ignored the judge’s ruling that found each party failed to play by the rules. State election law is clear, and we are exploring our options.”

Time is short. The filings request emergency hearings for the West and De la Cruz appeals before ballots are mailed to overseas and military voters Sept. 17.
