Last week, it was reported that no one would be on the ballot in either major party primary in Georgia’s state house district 82. This is because no one had filed in the Republican primary, and filing has closed; and no Democrat would be on because the incumbent Democrat had been the only person who had filed, and then after filing had closed, he withdrew.

But now the Secretary of State has ruled that Democrats will have a special primary on July 20 to choose a replacement. Filing is now open to run in that special primary. Republicans will not be allowed to have a special primary, however. See this story. Thanks to Jason Pye for the link. The regularly-scheduled primary in Georgia this year is also on July 20.
