Pundits try to turn every off-cycle election into a predictor of the next major election, and Tuesday's Georgia Supreme Court election is another opportunity.

A favorite pastime of political pundits is to turn every off-cycle election into a predictor of the next major election, and Tuesday’sincumbent against a liberal challenger, received renewed attention in the waning days of the race due to its possible implications on the legality of abortion.

It’s a pattern that has repeated itself everywhere in the state. Pinson over-performed Trump in heavily Democratic areas, while Barrow over-performed Biden in heavily Republican areas. It all added up to a 10 point victory for Pinson., these results are thrilling. If Pinson can make the race in metropolitan Atlanta unusually competitive, surely the party can win over a number of voters in this major population center. This is a foolish extrapolation.
