Embattled Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defended his record Monday as he faces continued criticism from his own party heading into next year’s election.
In an appearance before the Rotary Club of Atlanta, the Republican state official pushed back on accusations that he is to blame for 2020 election losses. Raffensperger remains under siege more than a year later and after former President Donald Trump and his supporters’ election conspiracies have been repeatedly discredited.
Raffensperger reiterated that he continues to advocate for fair and honest elections, regardless of the political fallout. Trump narrowly lost in Georgia to Democrat Joe Biden.
Raffensperger also pointed to the success of the 2020 election that has withstood a multitude of legal challenges and held up to the scrutiny of investigations by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, FBI and other agencies.
