The Republican Primary for a state representative seat is back to a one-person race.
The Georgia Secretary of State's Office announced this afternoon that three of the four candidates running for the House District 3 seat in the May 24 Primary have been disqualified.
Why? Because the Georgia Republican Party failed to provide the eleciton's office with the proper paperwork on time.
