LAFAYETTE - The only candidates left for Georgia&#39;s state Legislature who haven&#39;t been elected yet are having a hard time raising more money. <br> <br> Incumbent state Representative Mike Snow meets Republican Jay Neal January Seventh in a runoff race after hundreds of voters cast ballots in the wrong district in November. <br> <br> Neal narrowly won that election by 195 votes. The First District includes most of Walker County in northwest Georgia. <br> <br> Snow says he does not have any money left over from the November election. He says Christmas is not a good time to be trying to raise money. <br> <br> Neal says he&#39;s running with whatever money he can get. <br> <br> Both candidates are getting help from their state parties. <br> <br> Redrawn district lines led to hundreds of people voting in the wrong district in November. <br> <br> Walker County officials have promised the problem will not happen again.
