Judge disqualifies Democrat Daniel Blackman from Georgia Public Service Commission primary
June 10, 2025
Votes won’t count for Democrat Daniel Blackman in the June 17 primary election for Georgia Public Service Commission. A judge ruled Tuesday that Blackman hasn’t proved that he’s lived in Fulton County for the required year before the November election. Fulton County Superior Court Judge Ural Glanville earlier kept Blackman on the ballot temporarily after Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger had disqualified him. But Glanville says after a hearing that Raffensperger’s ruling was correct. Blackman can appeal. If he loses, votes for him won’t be counted in the District 3 Democratic primary for the utility regulator. Democrats Peter Hubbard, Robert Jones and Keisha Waites also seek their party’s nomination.
