Over 78% of Georgia State House Races Have Only One Candidate on Ballot

Georgia elects all 180 members of its State House in every election year. This year, of the 180 races, there is only one candidate on the ballot in 141 of the races.

There are no minor party candidates on the ballot for Georgia legislature this year, but there are two independent candidates for State House. Georgia requires a petition signed by 5% of the number of registered voters, to place a minor party or independent candidate on the ballot for district office.

Republicans failed to run anyone in 61 of the State House races, and Democrats failed to run anyone in 82 of the State House races. In the case of the two independents who managed to get on the ballot, they are each the only opposition to an incumbent.

  1. Democracy NOW via 100 percent Proportional Representation in GA and in every other rotted to the core ANTI- Democracy gerrymander regime (i.e. every de facto EVIL monarchy / oligarchy regime since 4 July 1776 in the U.S.A.).

    Total Votes / Total Seats = EQUAL votes needed for each seat winner (via candidate rank order lists publicly posted before each election).

    19 Oct 1781 Victory of the U.S.A.-French army and navy forces at Yorktown, VA over the U.K. army units of the EVIL King George III and his gang — military end of the LONG American Revolutionary War started on 19 Apr 1775 at Lexington and Concord, MA. — a LONG 6.5 years of death and destruction.

    Remember the brave American / French dead and injured.

    They did NOT fight and die to have gerrymander MONSTERS in control of the U.S.A. and each State.

  2. Richard, I thought you knew that third parties aren’t challenging the man unless they lose. Entering into these races would mean they have a chance of winning.

  3. It is disturbing that there is no competition/choice for the citizens of Georgia. I am going to figure out what is takes to get on the ballot for the next election.
