Georgia Supreme Court rules Kemp's DA pick must face election challenge
The Georgia Supreme Court unanimously ruled Thursday that a special election for the Athens district attorney’s office must proceed with the Nov. 3 general election.
The ruling pits Gov. Brian Kemp’s appointee to the Western Judicial Circuit, Brian Patterson, against Deborah Gonzalez, an Athens-based lawyer and former Democratic state representative. The special election will take place on the same ballot as the presidential election, which is expected to draw the highest turnout in recent history.
Gonzalez said, “We knew we could not let the governor take away our right to have an election.”
