ジョージア州の有権者は火曜日、州最高裁判所の判事選において、民主党が支援する2人の候補を退けた。この敗北は、バラク・オバマ元大統領やカマラ・ハリス前副大統領からの支持表明があったにもかかわらず起きた。
現職の保守派判事であるサラ・ウォーレン氏とチャールズ・ベセル氏がそれぞれの選挙で勝利した。ウォーレン氏は得票率約60%で元州上院議員のジェン・ジョーダン氏を破り、ベセル氏は得票率51%で弁護士のミラクル・ランキン氏を破った。両判事とも、共和党のネイサン・ディール元州知事によって任命されていた。

Congratulations on officially becoming a copeholic.
Can’t wait to see what you say about the…
The left just poured historic amounts of out-of-state cash into Georgia and brought in Obama and Harris to flip a single judicial seat, only to watch Sarah Warren absolutely crush their nominee. Voters just sent a clear message: the state’s highest court is not for sale to…
