Raffensperger is publicly critical of what he claims are Trump’s falsehoods in the 2020 election. In his op-ed, he calls out Democrat Stacey Abrams for the same rhetoric. He said, “a federal takeover would make future elections dysfunctional. It would also fuel baseless claims of stolen elections from people like Stacey Abrams.”
The left said that photo ID for in-person voting would suppress votes. It didn’t. Registration and turnout soared, hitting new records with each election cycle.

Congressman Jody Hice of Georgia has announced he will challenge Raffensperger. Trump instantly endorsed him.
Hice isn’t Raffensperger’s only primary challenger. David Belle Isle, former mayor of Alpharetta lost to Raffensperger in a 2018 runoff for the nomination. He announced another run in 2022. Additionally, Democrats are lining up for a general election claim.
Right now chances for reelection are, at best, a long-shot.
