Green Party calls Frivolous, Candidate Qualification Challenges<\/strong> In a July 12th complaint filed with the Secretary of State of Georgia, Bondurant, Mixon and Elmore, a corporate law firm in Midtown Atlanta, has challenged the qualifications of the Georgia Green Party to nominate candidates for public office, and particularly in the Presidential race. They filed this action on behalf of Craig Louis Pigg, Catherine Smith, and Mary Lou Waymer. A hearing on the matter is expected before the Office of State Administrative Hearings.<\/p>\n Support is collapsing in key demographics1 2<\/sup> traditionally depended on by the Democrat Presidential bid. The mental competency of their presumptive nominee is being widely questioned, and rumors are flying that Article XXV is under discussion and that next month\u2019s convention in Chicago will, again, toss out the primary results only this time to conduct an open nominating process. In 2016 they ignored Primary voters’ support for Bernie Sanders so that DNC Super Delegates could nominate Clinton3 4 5 6<\/sup>. In 2024, it looks like Biden could be replaced by his party, after they excluded all internal challenges for their nomination from the process.<\/p>\n Biden won by the narrowest of margins in 2020. It is in this context that a super PAC supporting the Biden campaign is funding legal challenges across the nation to ensure that the Democrats face no ballot-qualified opposition competing for the \u2018Anyone but Trump\u2019 vote.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Clear Choice PAC intends to choose our candidates, and limit voters options before we have an opportunity to choose our elected officials,\u201d said Hugh Esco, Secretary of the Georgia Green Party who for six years chaired the Georgia Voter Choice Coalition. \u201cThe corporations have traditionally used the wealth primary for exactly this purpose, and have managed to foreclose policy reforms from within their parties. We know they pitch their sock puppets against one another as a circus to distract voters. Here they seek to also exclude the party we built to represent the interests of working people. And most insulting of all, they fraudulently claim the mantle of democracy as they limit our choices.\u201d<\/p>\n Bondurant, Mixon and Elmore describe themselves as \u201can elite group of highly-qualified litigators dedicated to winning high-stakes business disputes\u201d. They operate out of a suite of offices on the 39th Floor of One Atlantic Center on Peachtree Street.<\/p>\n Their ballot qualifications challenge relies on the failure of these \u2018elite litigators\u2019 to craft an open records request which would elicit the documents they claim do not exist.<\/p>\n The Georgia Green Party first filed its registration as required by law in May 1996. The state political body has subsequently updated after every convention its registration to reflect the changing membership of its state committee and officers. The party\u2019s governing documents, including its Nominating Convention Rules were included in that initial May 1996 filing. Those rules have been subsequently amended more than a dozen times. The latest change was made on November 7th, 2021, and certified to the Secretary\u2019s office shortly thereafter.<\/p>\n \u201cBiden has already been implicated in a campaign of ethnic cleansing acknowledged by the International Court of Justice as a probable genocide. Trump urges that we \u2018finish the job\u2019,\u201d said Esco, Secretary of the Georgia Green Party. \u201cIf this dark money assault on the democratic rights of Georgia voters is not defeated, Georgia voters will be denied a ballot-qualified slate expressing our opposition to genocide. It\u2019s time we stopped pretending we can export democracy by way of weapons sales and Pentagon deployments and started learning what democracy could look like at home.\u201d<\/p>\n ###<\/p>\n The Georgia Green Party <\/p>\n 1. \u2018Not Beholden To Any Party\u2019: Here\u2019s Why Teamsters Union Boss Sean O\u2019Brien Spoke At RNC 2.
