Tucked in a jagged corner on the Georgia House Map, Voters last month for the Candidates they thought could be their Next Representative.
It now appears they cast Ballots in the Wrong State House District in Rural East Georgia, throwing the 48 Vote Outcome into Doubt, and jeopardizing a longtime Democrat’s Re-Election.
The Race was the Closest House Race in Georgia, with a 0.2 percentage point Margin out of nearly 28,000 Votes cast.
About 60 People likely Voted in the wrong District, according to Mapping by The Atlanta Journal Constitution.
The apparent Errors occurred after Redistricting in 2021 in McDuffie County, where these Voters were Assigned to the Wrong side of Political Borders running along Roads and Highways.
The Town of Dearing, on the Boder, has a Ppulation 537.
Incumbent State Rep. Mack Jackson (D-1st District, Sandersville), was the announced Winner of the Election, edging out Tracy Wheeler (R), a Businessperson from Sparta. But a judge could soon decide whether to Order a New Election.
An Election Redo would give Wheeler another chance to earn a Seat at the Georgia Capitol, and build on Republicans’ 100-80 Majority in the State House.
