Voters will decide whether two key players in the Georgia election interference case against former President Donald Trump will keep their jobs

. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee are both on the ballot for Tuesday's election. Willis is the prosecutor who last year obtained a sprawling racketeering indictment against Trump and 18 others, and McAfee is the judge who was randomly assigned to preside over the case. Willis has a single challenger in the Democratic primary and, if she wins, will face off against a Republican candidate in the fall.

A lawyer who interned in the Trump White House, she has ties to some of the former president's prominent allies in Georgia. While the Trump election case and racketeering cases against well-known rappers have boosted Willis' public profile, her campaign has focused her efforts to reduce a staggering case backlog that existed when she took office, fight gang violence and catch at-risk youth before they get caught up in the criminal justice system.
