Trump’s Nemesis Returns to Protect the Vote in Georgia

“Brad Raffensperger is all too familiar with attempts to subvert U.S. democracy,” the Financial Times reports.

“The Secretary of State for Georgia was on the receiving end of the infamous Donald Trump phone call after the 2020 election, when the then-president urged his fellow Republican to ‘find’ the 11,780 votes he needed to win the state. Raffensperger refused and death threats ensued.”

“Almost four years on from the unrest that followed the last presidential election, Raffensperger is again in the crosshairs of the Trump faithful, as he battles a MAGA-friendly majority on the swing state’s election board who passed last-minute laws that critics claim will pave the way for post-election legal chaos, if not violent unrest.”

Said Raffensperger: “There are a lot of bad actors out there.”
