- As time ticks down to the May 21 nonpartisan primary election, at least four Georgia judicial elections contain ongoing legal challenges surrounding candidacy.
- Supreme Court of Georgia, Georgia Court of Appeals, Atlanta Judicial Circuit and Henry County State Court candidates await rulings ahead of Election Day.
- Challenges range from candidate-requested injunctions to candidacy disqualification appeals.
With less than a week until the May 21 nonpartisan primary election in Georgia, at least several contested judicial races remain embattled in underlying legal challenges—some of which are self-imposed.
From the Supreme Court of Georgia and Georgia Court of Appeals to the Atlanta Judicial Circuit and Henry County State Court races, candidates continue to face ethics and disqualification proceedings as time ticks down to Election Day.
