During the period 1970 through 2020, Georgia has only had one person on the ballot for a regularly-scheduled U.S. House election who was not a Democratic or Republican nominee. He was Billy McKinney. He got on in 1982, not because he did the 5% petition that has been in place since 1943, but because a court cut the requirement down to 1.3% in 1982 due to late redistricting.

In that same half-century, every other state has had at least 13 minor party or independent candidates on the ballot for U.S. House. The state with only 13 is West Virginia, which had very restrictive ballot access before 2009. Of course West Virginia only has three districts, whereas Georgia has fourteen.

There have been 7,725 instances in the nation when a minor party or independent candidate was on the ballot for U.S. House in a regular election, for the period 1970-2020. Minor party and independent candidates for U.S. House are a regular feature of political life in the U.S. Georgia stands completely outside this tradition.
