Votes cast for Democratic candidate Daniel Blackman in the upcoming June 17th primary election for the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC) will not be counted, following a judge’s ruling on Tuesday. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville determined that Blackman failed to prove he had resided in Fulton County for the required year prior to the general election in November. This decision overturns a previous temporary order issued by Judge Glanville that allowed Blackman to remain on the ballot, after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger initially disqualified him. Following a hearing on Tuesday, Judge Glanville sided with Raffensperger, stating his office’s decision was correct. Blackman has the option to appeal the ruling. The Georgia Public Service Commission elections are held statewide, with voters choosing each of the five commissioners. However, each commissioner must reside within a specific district. A request for comment from Blackman’s lawyer has not yet been returned. Secretary of State spokesperson Robert Sinners stated that signs alerting voters to Blackman’s disqualification will be displayed at polling locations.
