Väljarna i Georgia avvisade på tisdagen två demokratstödda kandidater till delstatens högsta domstol. Förlusterna skedde trots stöd från förre presidenten Barack Obama och förre vicepresidenten Kamala Harris.

De sittande konservativa domarna Sarah Warren och Charles Bethel vann sina val. Warren besegrade den tidigare delstatssenatorn Jen Jordan med nästan 60 procent av rösterna. Bethel besegrade advokaten Miracle Rankin med 51 procent. Båda domarna utsågs av den republikanske guvernören Nathan Deal.

The best part about Georgia's primary yesterday, is that Obama's GA Supreme Court endorsements lost.

Voters gave Obama, Stacy Abrams, and both of his chosen candidates double tweeters. 🖕🖕
