Two Republican-appointed Georgia Supreme Court justices win reelection

Conservative Justices Sarah Warren and Charlie Bethel won reelection to the Georgia Supreme Court, defeating Democratic-backed challengers Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin. The race drew over $4 million in spending despite its nonpartisan status, with endorsements from former President Barack Obama and Governor Brian Kemp. The result maintains the court's 8-1 conservative majority.
