ATLANTA — Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his office have finalized the state ballot for the presidential election.
Earlier this week, Chief State Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi ruled that four independent and third-party candidates are ineligible to appear on Georgia’s presidential ballot. However, the final decision was up to Raffensperger to make.
