Georgia voters are projected to reelect two incumbent justices on the Georgia Supreme Court, according to Decision Desk HQ and vote reporting cited by outlets. In one race, incumbent Justice Charlie Bethel (spelled “Charles” by one outlet) is projected to defeat Democratic-backed challenger Miracle Rankin. In the other race, incumbent Justice Sarah Warren is projected to defeat Democratic-backed challenger Jen Jordan. Both races are described as highly contested state Supreme Court elections, with each challenger characterized by outlets as being aligned with liberal or Democratic interests. One outlet reports that unofficial results show Bethel leading Rankin by about 2.2 percentage points with more than 95% of votes counted, while the other outlet focuses on projections for both contests rather than specific margins. The outcomes occur after Democrats recorded major upsets on the Georgia Public Service Commission in the prior year, with at least one source noting Tuesday’s results as consistent with a shift away from that pattern. Overall, both sources agree that the Republican-backed incumbents win reelection in their respective races.
