Georgia Supreme Court justices expressed skepticism during a Tuesday hearing that votes for presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz should count, possibly setting the stage for disqualifying them from the battleground state's ballots.

Democrats who are trying to prevent other candidates from siphoning votes from Vice President Kamala Harris argue that West and De la Cruz failed to qualify because their presidential electors did not each submit a separate petition with the 7,500 signatures needed to access Georgia's ballots. Instead, only one petition per candidate was submitted.
