    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    And Judge Scott McAfee, who is overseeing the former president’s case, is projected to win his nonpartisan election for Fulton County Superior Court.

    The 2020 election interference case in Georgia was sidetracked for months over whether Willis should be disqualified following revelations that she had a romantic relationship with her lead prosecutor, Nathan Wade.

    A legal argument before the Supreme Court over whether the former president has immunity from prosecution also remains an issue in the Georgia case and may not be decided until this summer.

    Kramer, who was unopposed in the Republican primary, will be the heavy underdog against Willis in deep-blue Fulton County, which is home to most of Atlanta.

    McAfee, meanwhile, faced criminal defense lawyer and talk radio host Robert Patillo in his nonpartisan general election Tuesday.

    Patillo, who describes himself as a “conservative Democrat,” had criticized McAfee’s handling of the decision not to remove Willis from the prosecution when details of her romantic relationship with Wade emerged.
