From Dan Sheill:

There's a special election in Georgia on January 5. The Libertarian Party has a candidate in the race. And there's no Republican even running.

Libertarian Taylor Bryant, an auto technician, is running in the election for a Augusta area seat.

He is up against three Democrats. He is the only free market-oriented candidate in the race. If no candidate wins a majority in the first round, a runoff election will be held on February 2.

From the Augusta Chronicle:

he's hoping the low turnout will give him a boost if the Democratic vote gets split three ways, and he can garner about 90 percent of the Republican vote and support from the small-government-minded Tea Party contingency.

Back in November, a similar situation occured in North Carolina for a Mayor's seat. No Republican was on the ballot, only 4 Democrats and 1 Libertarian in Durham. The Libertarian ended up in the second round. In the final voting against the well-known Democrat he received 27.
