Raffensperger, the Republican Secretary of State in Georgia, has been smack dab in the center of controversy since the 2020 elections. He infamously refused to support President Trump's claims of widespread voter fraud in Georgia. And he is expected to testify against Trump about asking Raffensperger to "find" votes to overturn the election results in a now-infamous phone call.
But the real story is, of course, much bigger than the AP’s loony focus on the Trump-Raffensberger dustup. The Georgia bill would not only authorize Georgia’s Elections Board to investigate Raffensberger, it would also give the board independent authority to investigate local officials, which is far more significant and pregnant with possibilities than even the prospect of investigating the disgraced Secretary of State. The bill would add the underlined text:
In other words this bill would give the mostly-toothless Georgia Elections Board some real teeth. It’s progress, and Georgia C&Cers — you know what to do.
Guess who directed $10M of taxpayer to, Sterling Innovative, directly from Raffensperger's control of State funds in order to prepare Voting for the Coronavirus? That's a contract 2020, folks.
Raffensperger doesn't want people sniffing around the Georgia Election Process because of all the deals he gave to pals, who have State of Georgia offices simultaneously.
