From Ga Pundit newsletter today
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger spoke about election procedures in Liberty County, according to WTOC.
Raffensperger said he came to set the record straight about the state’s election integrity. This, of course, stems from the uproar the state faced after the 2020 presidential election.
“Georgia is recognized as #1 for election integrity in America. #1 for the first time ever,” Raffensperger said.
“People said that the machines were flipping votes, so what I said was let’s go ahead and recount the presidential race. All five million ballots, lets recount all of them by hand. What we showed is the count was accurate,” he said.
Another thing Raffensperger brought up was something you might not expect lots of voters chose not to vote for anyone at all for president in 2020.
—–> He says nearly 30,000 people who voted that year chose to skip the presidential part of the ballot, even though they filled out the other parts.
“Yet they voted down ballot for the sheriff, county commissioner, state rep, congress other races like that. The republican congressman got 33,000 more votes that President Trump and that’s why he came up short,” Raffensperger said.
—–> “We have done a 100% scrub of the entire voter rolls. All 7.5 million people. We identified about 1,600 people that appear that could be non-citizens. Now we’re going to do a deep-dive and do some one-on-one interviews.”
Elements of Georgia’s new election law were also brought to the podium. Changes that have a particular impact on absentee voting.
“How can you argue with the photo that’s on your drivers’ license,” he continued. “We actually increased early voting. From 16 days to 17 days at every county now,” Raffensperger said. “No electioneering, no politicking in the 150 foot [zone]. No water, no food, no talking to folks.”
