> “therefore only persons who voted in the primary can vote in the runoff less than a month from now”
This is so improbably absurd, I have a hard time believing I am reading this on the FR.
You are not reading the law correctly. Say a GA legal resident and registered voter was ill on Nov 3rd, and never got around to getting an absentee ballot.
You think that person is barred from voting in a runoff?
Per state election law, cited, copied, and emphasized in the FR thread, yes. But most affects the couple hundred thousand 'permanently disabled' status of ballots that was not set into election law by public approval as the State Constitution provides.
