Three independent and third-party candidates have moved closer to securing a spot on Georgia's presidential ballot, as announced by Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The candidates, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Cornel West, and Claudia De la Cruz of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, each gathered more than the required 7,500 signatures to qualify.
After a thorough review by county election officials, Kennedy garnered 11,336 accepted signatures, West received 8,075, and De la Cruz obtained 7,682. While major parties like Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians have guaranteed spots on the ballot, other parties and independent candidates must qualify through petition.
