GOP Determined to Cancel Raffensperger

‘He’s toast’: GOP leaves Raffensperger twisting in the wind

The former president is obsessed with defeating him next year. He’s getting mauled by his own state party. Last week alone, a Republican congressman announced he’d challenge in the primary and the state legislature voted to strip his office of some official powers.

By most accounts, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger doesn’t have a prayer of being reelected.

Standing up to a bully has consequences - honesty is no defense for hyper-partisans.

But the issue will likely play out across the country, [Sarah] Longwell [the founder of the Republican Accountability Project] said. “In a Republican primary — like the Ohio Senate primary, for example — I suspect the challengers are going to be MAGA, or more MAGA, or mega MAGA. … You can definitely see that people will try to outmatch each other by the extent to which they will play up the election being stolen.”

"Mega MAGA"?!

What’s the point?
Didn’t the newly minted “Election Integrity” statute in Georgia remove significant powers from the Office?

That is the point. He told truth. Republican lawmakers didn't like that and stripped him of power so that they could interfere next time.

Their version of "election integrity" is to have the party in power being able to do whatever they want with the results.

Good thing that has never backfired *looks over at Patriot Act*

Exactly. They want to do everything they can to prevent them from losing power. 2020 confirmed their worst fears - Georgia is no longer a GOP stronghold. They aren't thinking about what their new law means when they aren't in power anymore. Very short-sighted.

 

[perplexed]

Trump falsely accused Brad Raffensperger of being very corrupt and Helping his brother Ron Raffensperger get rich, CNN really dropped the ball and said Brad does not even have a brother , they should have just said Brad and Ron were not related.

That's, a ridiculous and unfair take on it.

They only want that when THEY are the party in power.
