Republican Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Wednesday launched his campaign to run for governor. “I’m a conservative Republican, and I’m prepared to make the tough decisions. I follow the law and the Constitution, and I’ll always do the right thing for Georgia no matter what,” Raffensperger said in his campaign launch video.

He also pledges to work with Trump to increase jobs, deport illegal immigrants with criminal records, and “restore law and...

Fulton County, Georgia — the epicenter of so many lingering questions about the 2020 presidential election — has a new problem on its hands. On May 4, 2026, the Fulton County Board of Registration and Elections filed a 27-page motion to quash in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asking a federal judge to quash a grand jury subpoena demanding the personal identifying information of thousands of county election workers and volunteers who helped administer the November 2020 General Election. The original subpoena was issued under seal on April 17, 2026, by the U.S. Attorney’s Office...

On Monday, the Superior Court of Fulton County filed notice of a hearing for a challenge to the candidacy of Brad Raffensperger for Governor on the Republican primary ballot, due to the Republican party voting to reject his candidacy last year at the Georgia GOP Convention. If successful, this challenge could disqualify Raffensperger from the Republican primary ballot. [snip] “This is not a partisan issue; it is an issue of election integrity,” said Jake Medoff, attorney for Wysong and James. “The Georgia Republican Party has the right to decide who will represent it as a candidate, and that process should...

After the election offices of Georgia’s most populous county were raided last month, the FBI has disclosed information indicating where its investigation is heading.FBI agents are seen at the facility in Union City, Ga., on Jan. 28, 2026. Federal laws may have been broken during the 2020 election according to the affidavit supporting the court-approved raid. Yet the breadth of the materials seized shows the FBI may be able to check the integrity of the ballots more broadly, uncovering further issues or putting speculation to bed.President Donald Trump’s campaign challenged the Georgia election most vigorously, as he lost the state...

In late December 2020, President Trump made a call to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger asking him to look at some of the items that were uncovered by his auditor. There was plenty of evidence for a competent auditor or any man of integrity to know that the election was uncertifiable. Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger’s office secretly recorded the phone call with President Trump, then lied about it to the far left Washington Post. Raffensperger’s office later ran to the Washington Post and leaked a fraudulent transcript of the call. After they were caught lying to the America...

ATLANTA – A federal judge has upheld a portion of a controversial 2022 Georgia election law dealing with absentee ballots. In a 50-page ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee declared that the state had a “compelling governmental interest” in restricting the distribution of absentee ballot applications by third-party voting rights activists. He ruled that the state was justified in enacting restrictions aimed at “reducing voter confusion, enhancing voter confidence and increasing electoral efficiency.” The absentee ballot restrictions were part of a broad overhaul of Georgia election procedures the Republican-controlled General Assembly passed in 2021 after Democrat Joe Biden carried...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (is that his real name or is it a stage name?) reported Tuesday that bomb threats originating from Russia temporarily disrupted voting at two polling places in Union City. Were these Russian would-be bombers Democrat Russians or Republican Russians or independent Russians? Has Vladimir Putin claimed responsibility as a new front in his war against Volodymyr Zelensky? (This has got to be a stage name. What a clown!) Were excessive amounts of vodka involved? Or is this yet another PR disaster which we can blame on Bud Light?

Former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said Friday on CNN’s “News Central” that “voter suppression activity” was occurring in Georgia despite record turnout. Co-anchor Kate Bolduan asked, “Early voting has been just breaking records from day one in Georgia. You have been working on improving voter turnout in Georgia for years. What do you think is driving this surge in early voting this time?” Abrams said, “Well, while we are excited about who’s showing up we have to understand that turnout does not mean there is not voter suppression activity. A lot of those voters in 2020 were able...

Why is Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger quietly raising $5 million to “identify local election officials” who might challenge election results.. Georgia, the site of massive election misinformation, questionable results, incomplete audits and a mysterious come-from-behind razor-thin win by Joe Biden in 2020, appears to be at it again. Or perhaps we should say Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is at it again. Kylie Jane Kremer brought the matter to our attention through a series of posts on X. As Kremer notes, “Raffensperger sent an email, in a private capacity, that went to a list of trial lawyers...

After trying to block the Georgia State Election Board (SEB) from ensuring precincts match physical ballot counts with machine counts, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office declined to provide training on the SEB’s rule until a court rules on the matter. Blake Evans, the election director for the secretary of state, sent guidance to county election officials indicating the state will not bother providing “additional training … until after any court decisions are made,” according to a document obtained by The Federalist. “Our office is continuing to review recent rule amendments voted on by the State Election Board (SEB) at...

Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein will remain on the ballot in Georgia and the Democrats are in a panic. Democrats sued to boot Jill Stein off the presidential ballot in Georgia and other swing states because she will siphon votes from Kamala Harris – especially with the Muslim population. “The state Democratic Party has appealed to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s decision to allow Green Party candidate Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West, and Party for Socialism and Liberation candidate Claudia de la Cruz on the ballot,” Fox 5 Atlanta reported. Dr. Jill Stein won the battle and announced...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is facing a powerful defamation lawsuit arising from false claims he made about a Republican election volunteer in his 2021 book “Integrity Counts.” He wrote and published that a video presentation of unsupervised ballot counting at State Farm Arena in Atlanta had been “doctored,” “chopped up,” “cut,” “sliced up,” and “deceptively sliced and edited so that it appeared to show the exact opposite of reality,” allegedly including a “slice of video that had removed the clear evidence” that the law had been followed.

Former President Donald J. Trump suggested without evidence on Saturday that Georgia’s Republican governor was hampering his efforts to win the battleground state in November, a claim that carried echoes of Mr. Trump’s attempt to overturn his defeat to President Biden there in 2020. “In my opinion, they want us to lose,” Mr. Trump said, accusing the state’s governor, Brian Kemp, and its secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, who is also a Republican, of being disloyal and trying to make life difficult for him. At a rally at the Georgia State University Convocation Center in Atlanta, in a speech that...

On Tuesday software expert Phillip Davis testified that thousands of duplicate ballots were counted in the 2020 election in Georgia. Davis testified on how election workers were cheating by counting ballots numerous times using different tabulators.Phillip Davis: You’ll see that they took batches from tabulator 794, batches 8 through 11. They brought it to tabulator 791. They then started grabbing pieces of those four batches. And with those four pieces, they met up brand new batches for tabulator 794. Some of the ballots were in reverse order. They were from multiple batches. In the very first one, you can see...

Former Georgia Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (R) revealed that he was going to support a “decent person” like President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2024 presidential election over a “criminal defendant without a moral compass.” In an op-ed written in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Duncan criticized Republicans who “fall in line” behind former President Donald Trump, labeling it as “disappointing” and arguing that those who decide to support Trump as the Republican presidential nominee are “dead wrong” in that mentality.
