Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee, who presided over the Georgia election interference case involving former President Trump, has emerged victorious in his bid for re-election, as reported by Decision Desk HQ.
McAfee successfully defended his seat on the Superior Court against a challenge from civil rights attorney Robert Patillo II. Currently, he is presiding over a case initiated by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis (D) to investigate potential attempts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.
