Gay Ga. House candidate disqualified

A judge ordered Keith Gross, a gay candidate for State House District 80, removed from the Nov. 4 ballot in a ruling on July 10.

Gross challenged Rep. Mike Jacobs (R-Atlanta) for District 80, which includes parts of DeKalb County. The ruling came because Gross did not meet Georgia's minimum two-year residency requirements to run for office in the state.

Administrative Law Judge Michael Malihi found that Gross’ answers in the residency hearings "evasive" and "uncorroborated" during his two and half hour on the witness stand. More of Gay Ga. House candidate disqualified
