Raffensperger won Republican primary against Trump-backed rival
From the moment Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger defied Donald Trump, his chances of reelection were in serious doubt.
How could the man who famously refused the president’s demands to “find” more votes and overturn the 2020 election results win a Republican primary against a Trump-endorsed challenger?
Not only did Raffensperger survive, he won the primary outright without a runoff by earning a majority of the vote against four candidates, including Trump’s choice, U.S. Rep. Jody Hice.
Instead of bending to Trump, Raffensperger campaigned as a principled conservative, an engineer and small businessman who took his case directly to voters at events across the state. His message worked.
“What I have found is that every Georgian wants safe and secure elections with the right balance of accessibility with security,” Raffensperger told reporters on election night. “If you don’t understand what happened in the election of 2020, here’s what happened ― 28,000 Georgians skipped the presidential race and yet voted down-ballot in other races.”

His candidacy got help from Democratic voters who decided to cast Republican ballots so they could oppose Trump’s slate, including Hice. Georgia has open primaries, meaning any registered voter can choose to participate in either party’s primary election.
Going into election day, 7% of early voters in this year’s Republican primary had voted in the Democratic primary two years ago, according to state election data analyzed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
One crossover voter, Jonathan Herman, said it was important to him to use a Republican ballot to oppose Trump’s agenda in the primary — and then vote for Democrats again in the general election in November.

The AJC is undisputedly far left, so it's a bit surprising to see them flaunt the truth of how this disgustingly corrupt person got put back in office.
And of course, they are running victory laps with it.
But it's a sign of overconfidence how blazen the left can be with their ability to rig elections. There is no fear of consequences.
Unfortunately, I see Americans either succumbing to the CCP "China model" with the Davos Crowd clapping in the background, or getting local sheriffs to start rounding up the election riggers en masses.
DAVOS Crowd, aka Party of Davos, refers to the consortium of international persons and groups who convene in Davos, Switzerland to further their schemes to control the human populations. Great Reset, Build Back Better, is all part of it.
The GA rigging however, can only be stopped by tightening up primary election rules. Raffensperger's people found a quasi-legal way to rig his reelection and as you can see above, the AJC is in your face about it.
I will not vote for rat Burger
If Raffensperger had any loyalty or principles, he would have already resigned. His agreement with Abrams for drop boxes and absentee ballots is the reason for the 2020 debacle. Any man with dignity and respect for fairness would have admitted to his mistakes and stepped aside already.
This article says he is an engineer. Goes to show not all engineers are any good?
In WA state we have to declare a party affiliation and then vote for only that party’s candidate in the primaries. At first I hated the idea, now I appreciate it more. Can vote for any candidate in the general.
I think the Dem know this and crossed over because he will be defeated in the general .
Hey, Jonathan, if you move to Florida, I'll make sure to give the alligators your scent!
Oh, he’s an engineer, all right. He helps to — um, fix things.
that’s why they do it ... remember operation chaos?
Next time around conservatives need to find MAGA red Donald Dem DINOs to run in ‘Rat primaries to make sure the crossover voters have more to worry about.
Love when the pukes cancel DJT out
Very true .
It could work here .
I hope Rat-boy gets beaten by the Water Buffalo’s minions with fake absentee votes and dropboxes. That would be Karma.
The GA Law wasn’t enough, yet John Fredericks was praising it. They were able to cheat their way into being reelected.
This crap will continue to happen until Republican voters become willing to cross over and vote for the Democrat.
Fredericks has already endorsed Kemp for governor in the general election. What does that tell you about Fredericks commitment to removing RINO’s?
Fredericks is a stinking fraud. All his talk about removing RINO’s is a lie! He also is pushing Mohammed Oz in Pennsylvania.
He’s pushing GOP.
But yes, it’s disturbing. It’s disappointing, it can be demoralizing, but in a sense, it’s insulting and stupid.
Overall, MAGA is winning, but those few places where RINOs thumb their noses at the MAGA movement, they prevail because the fraud machine and rig schemes are behind them. And further, the lefty corporate news media makes it seem as if these isolated wins against MAGA are much bigger than they actually are.
MAGA members wanted to see Kemp, Raffensperger go down in flames because of their blatant corruption in 2020 and after. They will get what’s coming to them. The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they eventually bring justice.
Neither will Shemp.
I think the Dem know this and crossed over because he will be defeated in the general .
It’s been a long time since I voted for a Dem but I now have a reason to vote for whoever runs against this worthless Rat SOB.
