    ATLANTA (AP) — A judge ruled Monday that four independent and third-party candidates are ineligible to appear on Georgia’s presidential ballot, although the final decision will be up to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

    The rulings by Michael Malihi, an administrative law judge, would block the qualifications of independents Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Cornel West, as well as the Green Party’s Jill Stein and the Party for Socialism and Liberation’s Claudia De la Cruz.

        And the one from the Libertarian Party, because they think that will take votes from the Republicans. (Although the Libertarians are always on the ballot in Georgia, so maybe they’re strong enough to withstand these kinds of challenges.)
