Georgia lawmakers have passed a new elections measure that could impact the upcoming fall elections in the state. The legislation, which is now awaiting Governor Brian Kemp's approval, includes provisions that would make it easier for third-party or independent presidential candidates to qualify for the ballot in Georgia.
Under the new rules, any political party or body that has obtained ballot access in at least 20 states or territories would be eligible to qualify for Georgia's presidential ballot. This change could potentially benefit candidates like independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is seeking to make the ballot in all 50 states.
