It hasn't gotten as much coverage, but the Georgia Gov(R) just signed a law that the metro-Atlanta areas are not allowed to show part affiliation on ballots. Specifically, the 5 largest counties (Gwinnett, Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, Chattem). Fani Willis says she is going to fight against this.

"The move comes as Democrats have steadily been wiping out Republican officials in the core Atlanta counties of swing-state Georgia. It will move elections for all affected officials except district attorneys to May, when voters choose nonpartisan judges. That means a smaller electorate than in November, with turnout mostly driven by primaries for partisan offices that are held at the same time. If no candidate wins a majority, nonpartisan runoffs would be held in June."
