Georgia Legislative Primary Will be Done Over Again on December 4

Georgia primaries were held on May 22, but last week the Republican primary for State House, 28th district, was set aside by a judge. The evidence showed that at least 70 voters had been given ballots for another State House race instead of the one these voters should have been given.

On September 20, the same judge ruled that a new Republican primary for that seat will be held Tuesday, December 4. There are no other elections in Georgia that day. Although the state does have general election run-offs, they are held in early January. The same two Republicans will be on the December 4 ballot, and the winner will be presumed not only elected, but nominated, since no Democrat or member of any other party, nor any independent, had filed for the seat. See this story. The story does not say whether voters who had voted in the Democratic primary back in May will be allowed to vote.
