Kemp of Georgia is just going to appoint someone he wants instead. This isn't the first time he has subverted democracy in the state either. He's also intentionally suppressed legitimate voters and appointed himself to oversee an election he was running in.
If this ends up being allowed you can bet Republicans in other states will do the same because they've consistently shown they hate democracy.

On March 5, 2020, two aspiring candidates for Georgia Supreme Court filed suit against the state’s highest election official because the race in which they hoped to compete was taken off the ballot the day before the qualifying period began. On February 28, 2020, Justice Keith Blackwell announced that he will be retiring from the state supreme court, and therefore will not run for reelection. Blackwell’s announcement stated that he intends to remain on the court until November 18, 2020. The justice was scheduled to stand for reelection on May 19, but his term does not end until the end of December. Because Blackwell’s announced retirement falls before his term is over in December, Gov. Brian Kemp (R) will appoint Blackwell’s successor. Kemp conveyed that information to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R), who then canceled the election. |
