Two state court judges in Georgia have ruled that presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz are disqualified from running for president in the state due to improper paperwork filed by their electors. This decision means that votes for West and De la Cruz will not be counted in Georgia, even though their names will still appear on the ballots as it is too late to remove them.

As a result of the disqualification, the presidential choices for Georgia voters will include Republican Donald Trump, Democrat Kamala Harris, Libertarian Chase Oliver, and Green Party nominee Jill Stein. This marks the most candidates on the ballot in Georgia since 2000, as Democrats, Republicans, and Libertarians automatically qualify for elections in the state.
