Unless I'm mistaken, this was to keep Obama off of the primary ballot, not the general election ballot. If this is correct (and I won't believe it until I see it confirmed from reliable sources), the default judgement may not have any impact on that, depending on what the judgement actually says.
So can a person just leapfrog over the primary process then? I mean, if a person can't have their name on a primary ballot, how in the world are they allowed to have their name appear on the ballot for the general?
Why can’t this be done for the general election too?

That is my understanding too. I’m wondering if we will have to go through all this again when the general election comes around. But, since a candidate for Pres has to go through the Sec of State to get on the ballot in GA and presuming Obama’s eligibility-proof remains reasonably and prudently questionable, I do not see why the Sec of State would allow him on the ballot for the general. Perhaps he will allow him on the General ballot just to trigger the same challenges again? If he does, I hope he does it early, rather than late. Who knows what will happen? Keep your popcorn handy!
The BIGGER question to me is: Which other state(s) will go next?
there is no democratic primary this year
