The 52-year-old prosecutor’s victory over attorney and author Christian Wise Smith comes as she faces multiple investigations launched by state and federal lawmakers over her alleged misuse of taxpayer money and relationship with Wade.
“We can’t keep turning a blind eye to what’s going on in that office,” Wise Smith argued on the campaign trail Monday. “Chaos. Corruption. It’s time for us in Fulton County to stand up and take our justice system back”....

Last month she and wade were photographed boogyinh down at a reception in Miami. At a convention of the Black County Officials Association (name?)
She apparently got irate about being photographed.

We are NOT shocked.
Wade is addicted to her.
"Chaos. Corruption. It’s time for us in Fulton County to stand up and take our justice system back”
Too late. I've come to realize that Fulton County, GA has become as corrupt as Cook County, IL when I grew up in the Chicago area in the 1960's and it's not just the justice system.
Nice girl, I say, nice girl, but about as sharp as a sack of wet mice. I do declayah.
Gal reminds me of a highway between Forth Worth and Dallas – no curves, but a lot of lumps.
Georgians voted to keep her in office. That says a lot.
Trump is up in the polls in Georgia by 4.1 percentage points.

Willis got 87 percent in her primary.
And the judge in the Georgia Trump case, Scott McAfee, got 83 percent of the vote in his primary.
I moved from Georgia, specifically Fulton County, due to the shithole Yankee state corruption. I literally watched the 2020 senate runoff being stolen by Democrat thugs. I was threatened and was rushed by a screaming Democrat soldier right there in the North Fulton Annex and the Republican election observer who was nowhere near this shrugged it off.
Inhabitants of banana republics want to be governed by banana republic politicians.
They won't know what they had until it's gone. Then...we will likely have state-vs-state apartheid in the USA...
She remi – I say, Willis reminds me of Paul Revere’s ride, a little light in the belfry.
Wade seems like a nice enough fella, but he’s got more nerve than a bum tooth.
It’s time for us in Fulton County to stand up and take our justice system back
Seems like Fulton County has pretty clearly identified what kind of justice system they really want.
Excuse me, but which "guests" were "shocked" by the appearance of Nathan Wade at the election night victory party?
That's the typically garbage-y headline from the NY Post. That "geusts were shocked." In the story, there is one quote -- about being "shook", not "shocked" -- from one person who I take it was a reporter and not a "guest" of the Willis Campaign. And that was all. No other reports about larger groups of people, or group reactions.
As a decade-long reader of Althouse, I know very well that if the NY Times had done such reporting in the service of a Trump antagonist, she'd be dissecting the reporting errors.
The Post is of course wokring overtime to defend Trump, and so it is trying to make Willis appear as scandalous as possible. Even when this unsuspicious appearance by Wade was at a single public event, marking a celebration of a big electoral win for Willis.
I have been a critic of the Willis/Wade affair; I have been on the side of hoping Willis would recuse herself from this case altogether and that Wade's resignation be quickly accepted. Not because I want Trump's defense to succeed but rather because I want the prosecution to succeed and be defensible on appeal.
But other than reporting the mostly unremarkable fact that Wade appeared at the party, this NY Post story gave me nothing. It serves no purpose other than to give illegitimate support to an anti-Wills headline.
Dick,
A couple months ago Willis testified under oath that her relationship with was over and had been for a year or two.
Yet he was with her at the black county officials convention in Miami in April. He's not an official, never has been, his only reason for being there was as her guest.
Now this.
Did she perjure herself in the hearings?
Are you OK with that?
John Henry
"Guests shocked as woman's boyfriend attends her party."
What else are they shocked by? How nice and warm socks feel fresh out of the dryer on a cold winter morning?

We know what they're not shocked by. Some voting populations don't care about corruption. They're not really interested in good governance. Their priorities lie elsewhere.
How is it determined with certainty that she is “ex-lover”?
Yell theyve been screwing the citizens of fulton county so...
The world is a Ghetto.
Fulton county is 45% black and 10% other. Blacks voted for her 9-1. Blacks always vote Democrat, and almost always for the black (or black approved) candidate. If they see the "establishment" attacking one of "theirs" they double down.
Whether Trump will win GA depends on his ability to stop the D's from committing vote fraud like they did in 2020. Gov Kemp has been AWOL on the issue, despite claiming to be "a Trump supporter" in 2018. He's uniparty. The Republican Sec of State, is even worse. Its a weird state.
We live in a land where political leadership is mostly decided by popular vote. They voted. Make sure you do, and cast your voting influence wider than just the ballot.
Willis was a shoo-in for re-election. Of course she committed perjury in the hearings, but the people who voted for her simply don't care- the county is corrupt beyond redemption.
Fulton is the most populous county in Georgia and about one-third of Georgia residents live there but that means two-thirds don't. Comparing Fulton county numbers to Georgia overall is not a direct comparison. Trump's primary numbers were far behind Biden's in Fulton county in March. Implying "Georgia" approves of Fani Willis when only people in Fulton county got to vote for her, or comparing her victory to Trump's statewide margin, doesn't seem reasonable.
She most likely perjured herself. Beyond that, I think it's more likely than not that Wade, besides the vacations, gave her some kickbacks from the $650,000 that she threw his way. There's more to this than mendacity and lust. She's using a kind of RICO conspiracy to prosecute Trump for a RICO conspiracy. Ironic, huh.....She's demonstrably worse than Alvin Bragg, and that's a high hurdle. I hold out some slim hope that a Manhattan jury will do the right thing, but I've got no such hopes in a Fulton County jury.
Booty call.
They're not even trying to hide the corruption.
'Georgians voted to keep her in office. That says a lot.'
They are morons.
Have you been to Atlanta?
Hoisted by his Fani, without repercussions or regrets.
Atlanta: Where is Gen. Sherman when you really need him?
Why the assumption Fani and Wade are ex-lovers?
I bet after knocking back 6-8 "Grey Gooses" they are once again humping like humpback whales.
Althouse: Fulton County voters chose to keep her in office. That's Atlanta. The north part of Fulton has been trying to break away from the rest of it for decades.
The county is drawn to make the north part fund the rest of the city.
To understand anything about the meaning of this vote requires examining this very strangely-shaped county part by part.
Advice to self; do not attempt to post tabular data using Wordpress.
One thing they know how to do in Fulton County is count votes.
It wasn’t enough to burn Atlanta to the ground.

Incumbents usually do well in primaries, especially if their name is first on the ballot. There may be other reasons, too, as noted by other commenters here, but there's a big boost if your name is familiar and it's the first one on the list.
Eh, Sandy Springs is far left. Roswell is far left. It changes some as you head farther north, but North Fulton is no longer the conservative voting pool it was even six years ago.
