Incumbent conservative justices Sarah Warren and Charles Bethel, both appointed to Georgia\u2019s top court by Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, defeated liberal former state Sen. Jen Jordan and attorney Miracle Rankin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The nonpartisan races drew outsized attention as Democrats nationwide sought to flip the seats in a blue-leaning electorate and reshape Georgia\u2019s high court ahead of looming redistricting and abortion battles<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEpic Dem flop, this is an electorate that should have gotten their Supreme Court candidates over the line. Good bit of Dem\/abortion group spending but Dems went to polls and didn\u2019t know who their candidates were,\u201d Semafor political reporter<\/span> David Weigel posted on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Warren\u2019s race,<\/span> the results reflected a blowout<\/span>, with the Republican-appointed justice winning nearly 60% of the statewide vote, including a chunk of the black vote, and carrying all but three counties.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSarah Hawkins Warren is pulling out legitimately insane numbers for a Republican,\u201d Ryan Girdusky, a conservative political consultant,<\/span> said on X<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Zachary Donnini, head of data science at Vote Hub, said Warren\u2019s victory likely preserves Georgia\u2019s conservative court majority through 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Republican-backed Justice Sarah Warren has held her Georgia Supreme Court seat despite a blue-leaning electorate, likely preserving the GOP\u2019s court majority until at least spring 2030.<\/p>\n

The result could especially matter for future abortion and redistricting cases. https:\/\/t.co\/fxwG8D9hkx<\/p>\n

In Charles Bethel\u2019s race, the result was closer but produced a similar outcome, with the Republican-appointed incumbent defeating Obama-backed Miracle Rankin<\/span> with 51% of the vote.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cGeorgia\u2019s electorate is already D+7, and will grow with the Atlanta-area vote still out, but the key story is persuasion: many black Democratic voters backed incumbent Republican justices,\u201d Donnini said on X. \u201cDems probably needed to spend some money to tell their base who they should vote for.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
