It’s Primary Day in Georgia! Tamar Hallerman and Sam Gringlas discuss two key races on the ballot today that feature candidates working in the Trump Georgia election conspiracy trial. Judge Scott McAfee, the presiding judge in the Fulton County case, faces a challenger, but today’s vote will determine whether he continues in his job. There is no November election for his position.

Fulton County DA Fani Willis is on the ballot. If she wins her primary race against one opponent, she will be the odds on favorite to beat the republican running for her position in November.

Then the podcast takes up the hotly contested state Supreme Court race, which pits incumbent Justice Andrew Pinson against challenger John Barrow. Barrow has aggressively promoted his commitment to restoring abortion rights for women in Georgia, but faces potential disciplinary action from the Judicial Qualifications Commission, which has criticized him for injecting a political policy issue into his campaign.

Finally, AJC government reporter Maya T. Prabhu discusses races that, because of GOP redistricting, are pitting incumbent Democratic lawmakers against one another.
