It’s going to be interesting if the judge rules against Obama, and orders his name to not be put on the ballot. At that point Obama isn’t a candidate in Georgia. He would have to appeal to get the judgement reversed. That means he has to go through each higher court in Georgia. I think the law is you have to exhaust all of the state court avenues before jumping to the federal level.

Meanwhile he’s off the ballot and will be eliminated as write in. If it works in Georgia, expect copy cat lawsuits in several states.

Isn’t this the way he beats his opponents? By eliminating them? looks to me like turnaround is fair play....

I believe candidate Obama would have to appeal through the Georgia state courts up to and including the Georgia Supreme Court. The only path for him in Federal court would be to prove the Georgia candidate qualifying process is discrimintory and unconstitutional.

A sitting president becomes a candidate if he wishes to run for a second term. Candidates must meet the qualifying criteria in each state if they wish to be on the ballot.
