Angela Pence wanted voters in Northwest Georgia to have another choice on the ballot in November for the 14th Congressional District race, but she failed to meet a deadline for third-party candidates.  Now, it is unlikely she will be on the ballot in November.
The hurdles are high for third-party candidates to get on the ballot in a system that is firmly controlled by the nation’s two dominant political parties.  Because of that Pence, a Libertarian, will not appear on the General Election ballot in November to face off with incumbent Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene and Democrat Marcus Flowers.

In order to appear on the ballot, Pence would have needed to collect signatures from more than 23,000 registered voters in the district.  The Georgia Secretary of State’s office says that has never happened in the state.

Pence said she has been able to bring wider attention to the party, and her cause. She’s learned a lot about gathering signatures, met a lot of people and hasn’t quite ruled out declaring as a write-in candidate. She has until September to decide.
