Challenging the Justices

Greg Bluestein sits down with former state Sen. Jen Jordan and trial attorney Miracle Rankin, two Democratic-leaning attorneys mounting rare challenges to sitting Georgia Supreme Court justices. They argue the court has been shaped by gubernatorial appointments and say voters deserve a clearer choice in low-turnout May elections that have long protected incumbents. Jordan, who is running against Justice Sarah Warren, and Rankin, who is challenging Justice Charlie Bethel, outline a strategy centered on turnout and voter education rather than big-dollar spending. They also make the case for why this election cycle could test a system that has protected incumbents for more than a century. Have a question or comment for the show?
