Georgia Supreme Court stays conservative edge as GOP-backed incumbents win
TL;DR Summary
Two Georgia Supreme Court races ended with GOP-backed incumbents Sarah Warren and Charlie Bethel winning re-election, keeping conservative control of the bench; liberal challengers Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin were unable to flip seats, highlighting abortion and voting-rights debates that activists say should play out in state courts.
