In the Kennedy, West and De la Cruz cases, Malihi agreed with arguments made by the state Democratic Party that petitions for independent candidates must be filed in the name of the 16 presidential electors, and not the candidates themselves, citing a change made to Georgia law in 2017.
“In Georgia, independent candidates do not themselves qualify for the office of president and vice president of the United States of America for the ballot,” Malihi wrote. “Rather, individuals seeking the office of presidential elector qualify for the ballot to have their candidate for president or vice president placed on the ballot.”
The fuck. So because they’re a third party they can’t run for president and instead have to run for presidential elector on behalf of their presidential candidate so people can vote for not the electors but rather the actual candidate who gets put on the ballot, which will then get counted in favour of the electors running. This is different to how things are done with democrats/republicans apparently, who run for president and then presumably nominate electors, so people can vote for that candidate which then gets counted in favour of the electors. Just like with a third party.
Funny that liberals suddenly understand how voting suppression and using laws in frivolous ways works. But when it’s a republican?
“We need a strong GOP because we have to compromise with the parliamentarian committee of the July Freedom caucus so that’s why we can’t have healthcare or housing.”
They disrespected the Electoral College
Of fucking course lol. And they still can’t figure out why they will be lined up alongside fascists after the revolution.
