In yesterday's primary elections in Georgia, more voters chose Democratic primary ballots than Republican ones. Yet three incumbent state Supreme Court Justices appointed by Republican governors-all of whom voted to uphold Georgia's six-week abortion ban in the state-held onto their seats for six more years. Only one of the races was even close, and one justice ran unopposed.

All three of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court justices who sought reelection Tuesday will get another term, ensuring Democratic jurists keep their majority on the presidential battleground state's highest court - one at the center of pivotal fights over voting rights, redistricting and elections. The result shapes the makeup of the seven-member court through the next presidential election in 2028. The three justices had been elected as Democrats, and voters were deciding whether to extend the court's Democratic majority.
