It's only our candidates for presidential elector who must file early.  
The candidates for president and vice-president technically aren't 
candidates.  And the Democratic and Republican Party national 
conventions are even later than the LP presidential convention.  
Democrats probably won't know who their vice-presidential nominee will 
be until their national convention or perhaps a few days before.  So 
we're covered.

Hey everyone. I’m going to copy an email I received from Ryan Graham of 
Georgia concerning their presidential filing. I have added Ryan and Cara 
Shultz to this message so that hopefully someone can help them get their 
concerns heard and questions answered.


“Hey Team,

I wasn't sure who to reach out to about this, but we have some concerns 
with new laws down here in Georgia. Our candidates are now required to 
file much earlier than in the past, at the same time as the Republicans 
and Democrats are filing for their primaries. It caused some confusion 
down here in 2018 with us showing up on the qualified candidates on the 
SOS site for the General election before anyone else.

In 2018 our filing was March 5-9. We had to have our state convention in 
February to insure our candidates had time to get on the ballot. I 
anticipate a similar scenario for 2020. My concerns are around our 
Presidential candidate, whomever they might be. If we won't have our 
candidate until May, I worry it may be too late.

Please look into this and make sure we'll be able to get our 
Presidential candidate on the ballot in Georgia.

Again thank you for all you do and for all the help you can provide Georgia.
