Brad Raffensperger Dismisses Trump-Backed Challenger as 'Liar'

(From May 6, 2022) Georgia's Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, has emerged as one of the most prominent villains of the 2020 presidential election in the eyes of those who believe Donald Trump's false claims that President Joe Biden won because of voter fraud.

Despite voting for Trump and donating to his reelection campaign, Raffensperger has faced threats, as well as a barrage of public attacks and insults from the former president and his supporters. When Georgians go to the polls on May 24 to cast ballots in the state's primaries, Raffensperger will go head-to-head with Trump-endorsed Representative Jody Hice, who aims to take his job managing the state's elections.

Raffensperger likes to tout his experience as a business owner and his training as an engineer, as well as all the ways he believes he's made Georgia's elections better and more secure.
