Georgia Supreme Court Election

[Nyvin]

It's like this election found a time machine and went back to a Georgia of 20+ years ago

The Race tells me that the Abortion Issue has lost some JUICE at least in Georgia. Kemp signed a 6-Week Heartbeat Bill before the 2022 Midterms, still won by 8.

It also puts into Question the Polling we've seen out of Florida that shows the Abortion Amendment clearing 60 %.

nah...if it was all about abortion then the rural numbers would be massively worse for Barrow.

Perhaps, but if this election were taking place in Wisconsin I don't think it would have gone the way it did.

Barrow failed to galvanize the state party, donors or the voters who should have cared about the issue to find out who to vote for.

If Barrow were up 10% now this thread would be having a very different conversation.

The 2023 Wisconsin Supreme Court race had $51 million spent in it and was an open race.

This election had about $3 million and has an R incumbent.

If there was another ~$48 million spent on this election then most likely the Atlanta suburbs would've come alive and possibly given Barrow a chance, *maybe* helped by the abortion issue but I don't think we'll ever know that.
