Heard that question asked by several Georgia voters.

Fani Willis had several candidates in her office that would've been good choices to lead Georgia's Election Interference case -- and that included Deputy DA Will Wooten .

Wooten has strong high-profile prosecution experience, and Nathan Wade has none. To a lot of Georgia voters, hiring Nathan Wade to be lead prosecutor on Trump's case instead of Wooten, makes no sense. Although Wooten did 'work on' the election interference case, many feel he should have 'led' it -- and Nathan Wade should not have been on the case at all.

In regard to Will Wooten running for Georgia Appeals Court judge, some say they wouldn't have hesitation voting for Will Wooten, if he wasn't connected to Fani Willis -- and connected meaning not being involved or connected to actions and issues involving Willis that are currently under investigation -- this includes recently released email records showing coordination/communication between Fulton DA staff and Biden's White House Counsel . (Wooten is listed in this email chain).

And things would also look better for Will Wooten, if Fani Willis had willingly complied with Open Records requests related to the election interference case, hadn't lied about what Nathan Wade was paid, had not taken trips with him, and then failed to supply documentation showing she reimbursed him, to dismiss allegations that she purposely "over-paid" Wade to pay for those trips - and if Nathan Wade hadn't been paid 'multiple times' from Fulton County's "Seized Forfeiture Account" -- which is against Fulton County guidelines.

And for the record, these voters feel that if Fani Willis had appointed Will Wooten instead of Nathan Wade to lead Georgia's Election Interference case, it probably wouldn't have gotten dismissed.

Will Wooten spent more than two years helping build the criminal case against President Donald Trump in Georgia. Now he is running against the judge whose ruling helped end it.

Wooten, a deputy district attorney in Fulton County who served on the team that prosecuted Trump on election interference charges, announced Thursday he will challenge Judge E. Trenton Brown III for a seat on the Georgia Court of Appeals. Brown is the author of the 2-1 majority opinion that disqualified District Attorney Fani Willis from the case, setting off a chain of events that led to its dismissal last year.

COMMENTS FROM THE STREET:

"If Fulton Deputy DA "Will Wooten" is Qualified to Run for "Appeals Court Judge", Then He Was Qualified to LEAD "Trump's Election Interference Case" -- So Why Didn't Fani Willis Appoint Will Wooten, instead of "NON-QUALIFIED" Nathan Wade?

Paying Nathan Wade $700,000, was literally throwing Ful…
