Oh god oh fuck they’re both white women

IDK If memes need submission statements but: last night’s results were just peak comedy. Wish it were otherwise, but still pretty amusing.

Last night, Georgia had two Supreme Court races that were **general elections**, while both parties were conducting their primaries. Georgia Democrats showed up to the polls in droves, with the electorate ending up somewhere around D+7. Yes, in tilt-red Georgia.

However, these Supreme Court races were officially non-partisan, so there were no clean D/R labels next to the justice’s/challengers names on the ballots. (though the incumbents had “Incumbent” next to their name).

Despite GA Dems showing up for work, it was clear that there wasn’t enough messaging revolving around which nonpartisan candidates they were supposed to vote for, leading to some absurd results. The Republican-leaning incumbent Sarah Warren won in an absolute landslide against her Dem-leaning challenger Jen Jordan.

The absurdity gets dialed up to 11 when the second Supreme Court race, Charles Bethel (Rep. Incumbent) versus Miracle Rankin (Dem Challenger) is MUCH closer, which has led to online chatter wondering if Rankin did much better then Jen Jordan, because Miracle Rankin has an African American sounding name, leading to Dem voters to think “yep thats the Dem candidate”.

In a race where there’s a “Sarah Warren” versus a “Jen Jordan”…..that’s a bit trickier for people to parse.

Proposal: every progressive court candidate in Georgia now needs to have a name that sounds like it came from that Key and Peele college football skit.

And no, not Dan White.
