An election marked by reports of long lines at polls and vote-counters overwhelmed with more than one million absentee ballots was also particularly tough on some incumbents in the legal community.

Voters appear to have replaced Judge Rebecca Crumrine Rieder of Fulton County Superior Court with Shermela Williams, a former prosecutor and current litigator with Thomas Kennedy Sampson & Tompkins. Williams led by nearly 14,000 votes (56.43% to 43.57%), according to the Fulton County elections website with 91.26% of the precincts reporting.
