10. Not so easy as that I'm afraid

First - it's likely to take some time before a new selection can be made - because Willis is appealing to the state supreme court.

Assuming they uphold the ruling (it's an almost entirely red court) - there was never much indication that many of the dozens of other DAs in the state would have brought the charges. Georgia has been a "swing" state in recent elections - but that's because of a handful of overwhelmingly blue counties. The vast majority of counties in the state are overwhelmingly red.

So the real question here (assuming the ruling stands) is who makes the selection out of those dozens of prosecutors and would a DA in a deep-red county continue with the charges or drop them.
