ATLANTA — Two of Georgia’s top elections officials told NOTUS they feel better positioned to combat mistrust and public fury than they did four years ago, when they fended off a barrage of MAGA threats and intimidation from Donald Trump himself.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sat down with NOTUS for an interview at a fortified government building as polls closed in Georgia, where he pointed to a live feed of incoming data from polling stations, with a meter showing that 1,075,765 people had checked in to vote on Election Day alone — adding to the 4 million who’d already done so in previous weeks.
“My biggest concern about today?” Raffensperger said, repeating the question posed as he looked away for a moment.
