Atlanta Journal-Constitution: “Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has become the full-time scapegoat for former President Donald Trump and the Georgia GOP, who all falsely claim the secretary of state somehow stood by while the 2020 elections were rigged against Trump.
But Raffensperger was in friendly territory Tuesday when he spoke to the Rotary Club of Gwinnett County, where he confirmed again that he’s running for reelection in 2022.
He’s got an uphill battle ahead of him, with a primary challenge from U.S. Rep. Jody Hice, who has joined Trump in false claims about the 2020 elections, and state Rep. Bee Nguyen, a rising Democratic star, in the race, too. Two other Republicans – David Belle Isle and T.J. Hudson – are also running.”
