How Georgia's third party candidates could swing vote for Trump or Harris

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : In 2024, Georgia's 16 electoral votes are not just being chased by the Democrats and Republicans, but also by candidates including the Libertarian Party's Chase Oliver, Green Party's Jill Stein, and independents Claudia De la Cruz (Party for Socialism and Liberation) and Cornel West.
31% : Carl Cavalli, a political-science professor at the University of North Georgia, told Newsweek that third-party candidates remain options for voters who can't stomach major party candidates -- be it so-called "never Trumpers" who won't vote for Harris, or libertarians who think Trump is too extreme.
23% : Oliver, amid campaign stops in Minnesota, Ohio and Tennessee, told Newsweek that his campaign differs from Harris and Trump in that he's "not just intensely focusing on five or six swing states" but rather growing the national Libertarian contingent with renewed attentiveness toward younger, Gen Z voters who oppose the current two-party system.
17% : The Peach State was decided by 11,779 votes in President Joe Biden's favor over Trump in 2020, resulting in legal challenges by Trump's camp and a Fulton County indictment in a racketeering case that includes the former president, who denies he did anything wrong.
17% : Robert F. Kennedy, Jr, who withdrew his candidacy to endorse Trump, will not be on the ballot.
14% : "Without Trump, [libertarians] may have reluctantly considered Harris but Oliver gives them a way to avoid that uncomfortable choice," Cavalli said.
