Looks like the Judge is a Republican from what I can tell if my voter lookup pulled the right person. I wonder if the Democrats will cry foul.

#2 also recused. This should be fun.
#3 was a democrat until 2014. She became a Superior Court Judge in 2015. She gave Abrams a win vs. the SOS. Your right should be fun.
