Judge disqualifies Daniel Blackman from Georgia (R) PSC primary election
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - A judge has ruled all votes cast for one of the Democratic candidates running in the June 17 primary election for Georgia Public Service Commission will not count.
After a hearing on Tuesday, Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville said that Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's disqualification of Daniel Blackman was the correct move.
The backstory:
Last week, an administrative law judge recommended Raffensperger disqualify Blackman, a former U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regional administrator, from the District 3 seat because he did not show he lived there long enough.
Voters statewide elect commission members, but they must live in one of five districts for at least 12 months before an election. District 3 includes the core metro Atlanta counties of Fulton, DeKalb and Clayton. All five commissioners are currently Republicans.
