ATLANTA - A would-be Libertarian candidate for Congress is suing to get his name on the ballot in a new west Georgia district. <br>
<br>
Wayne Parker filed the suit Sunday after hearing that state elections officials rejected his petition of 18,000 signatures to put his name on the ballot. <br>
<br>
Parker has plenty of signatures, but thousands were deemed invalid because they didn't live in the Eleventh District. <br>
<br>
The district which includes parts of 17 counties along the Georgia-Alabama line from Chattooga County south to Muscogee County. <br>
<br>
Parker wants a judge to put him on the November fifth ballot along with Republican Phil Gingrey and Democrat Roger Kahn. <br>
<br>
The Libertarian Party of Georgia blames the Democratic Legislature's new political district map, which made it difficult to determine which voters lived in the Eleventh. <br>
<br>
Georgia law requires third-party candidates for Congress to collect the petition signatures of five percent of the number of voters from the previous election.
