The Sketchy Smear Against Georgia's Supreme Court Candidates
On June 17, 2026, two days before Georgia voters selected Supreme Court justices, Trump‑appointed federal judges overturned a district court restraining order and allowed the Republican‑controlled Judicial Qualifications Commission (JQC) to publish unverified allegations against Democratic‑backed candidates Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan.

The episode highlights a rare use of an emergency docket, typically reserved for death‑penalty appeals, to influence a state judicial election.
