Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger spoke with Fox News Digital about his state breaking early voting turnout records.
Georgia’s top election official believes that half of the state’s voters will have already cast ballots by Election Day. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger spoke with Fox News Digital late Tuesday afternoon, by which point more than one in four state residents had voted. 'It’s huge. Almost every day has been a record breaker,' he told Fox News Digital.
Supporters of the bill, which included Republican Party officials, argued they were necessary guardrails to ensure voter confidence. Democrats blasted the rules as an effort to sow doubt and confusion in what’s expected to be a close election in Georgia. Raffensperger, however, was among several GOP state and county officials who also opposed the rules.
Well, we're two and a half weeks away from Election Day. So when you think about how close we are to Election Day, it's just too much, too late,' he said. The Georgia Supreme Court is expected to hear the Republican National Committee’s appeal in the suit but rejected its request for an expedited decision, meaning the prior ruling that deemed the measures 'illegal, unconstitutional, and void' will remain in place through Election Day on Nov. 5.
