The question I have is, can a state ruling by a SoS be appealed to a federal court? Would the SofS have the final say regarding who qualifies to be on the Georgia ballot?

This is a state function and some states have different rules, or statutes to deal with the process. In GA they have the ALJ that recommend to the SoS, in NH that have a rigged ballot commission that makes recommendations to the SoS. But that is far as it goes. That is why Soros has been attempting to get his people at the SoS level in many states.
