An administrative judge has recommended that Keith Gross, a 24-year-old Democrat challenging state Rep. Mike Jacobs (R-Atlanta), be removed from the November ballot.
If ratified by Secretary of State Karen Handel, the decision would free Jacobs of major party opposition in his first contest as a Republican. Jacobs, who is seeking a third term, switched parties in 2007.
Had the judge waited until after the July 15th Primary to issue his ruling, the DPG would have been permitted to appoint a candidate to run against Jacobs. As it stands now, we are SOL.
This is beyond embarrassing.
