Georgia PSC Candidate Will Remain on Ballot While Appealing Disqualification
- Daniel Blackman, a Democratic candidate for Georgia Public Service Commission District 3, is appealing his disqualification from the June 17 primary ballot while remaining on the ballot for now.
- On Wednesday, Daniel Blackman was removed from the ballot by the Georgia Secretary of State following a residency dispute, as candidates must have lived in their district for at least a year prior to the election.
- Blackman moved to Fulton County, part of District 3, in October for work but delayed updating his voter registration to comply with Georgia’s 30-day residency rule before voting.
- Blackman expressed his intention to challenge the ruling and emphasized his ongoing dedication to advocating for energy justice and accountability in Georgia.
- The appeal keeps Blackman in the race amid a contested Democratic primary with three other candidates, while a final ruling from the court and Raffensperger is expected soon.
