(CNN) A rural state Legislature district in Georgia may be forced to redo a contentious primary election between two Republicans due to errors within its voter database. "I realized then we had a serious problem," Gasaway told CNN, claiming that mistakes by local election administrators could have cost him the race. Six thousand votes had been cast, and the secretary of state's office, which oversees the state's elections, had certified the results. Officials in Habersham County, which occupies much of his district in Northeast Georgia, conceded in August that "errors were made" and called for a new election. "Voters that should not have voted in the election did, and voters that should have voted in the election did not," his lawsuit states.
