| Fulton County (Atlanta) DA Trounced In Runoff Election 3 To 1 |
| 2020-08-13 |
| (CNN) ‐ Paul Howard, who handled Atlanta school cheating scandal, the Ray Lewis murder case and the police killing of Rayshard Brooks during his lengthy tenure, lost the runoff election as Fulton County’s top prosecutor. Opponent Fani Willis, who prosecuted cases for years in the county district attorney’s office, outpaced her old boss in June’s Democratic primary, but neither contestant received 50% of the vote, spurring Tuesday’s runoff. Willis trounced the incumbent Howard on Tuesday by a 3-to-1 margin, according to county election results. With almost 91% of precincts reporting, Willis had more than 43,000 votes, about 73% of the tally, to Howard’s 15,800. There were no Republican candidates on the ballot during the June primary. |

| #4 Atlanta never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. years ago, people floated the idea of Clark Howard for mayor. Clark wisely said hell no to that idea. It would've been amusing to see the attacks on him from people who previously loved him because he didn't have the right skin color. Which people have openly admitted is a requirement during the last few elections. |
