    Why the fuck does a Georgia state judge even have any power to disqualify candidates for a federal election in the first place?

    Like this isn’t just your standard corruption, this is a fundamental failure of federalism lmao

      The paradigm in America has always been that states control the voting process, it's one of the things that comes with having a disastrously out of date constitution.

        It’s really not a good idea. Like, not even in a “I care about US democracy” way, I mean this in a very abstract “This is a bad way to run a federalized government” way.
