Georgia Supreme Court Disqualifies Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz from Presidential Ballot

Votes for West and De la Cruz will not be counted due to petition errors, leaving four candidates on Georgia's ballot.

The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled that presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz did not qualify to appear on the state's ballot.
The court found that West and De la Cruz's presidential electors failed to submit the required individual petitions with 7,500 signatures each.
Democrats challenged the candidates to prevent them from siphoning votes from Vice President Kamala Harris, while Republicans aimed to keep them on the ballot.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger will place notices in polling locations warning that votes for West and De la Cruz will not count.
The disqualification leaves Georgia voters with four presidential candidates: Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, Chase Oliver, and Jill Stein.
