In yet another reversal, votes in Georgia for presidential candidates Cornel West and Claudia De la Cruz will count for now after the Georgia Supreme Court paused orders disqualifying them.

The court’s decision Sunday came as Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office said military and overseas ballots will be mailed beginning Tuesday with West and De la Cruz listed as candidates.

This doesn’t guarantee that votes for the two will be counted. They could still be disqualified by the state high court, in which case votes for them would be discarded.
