‘He’s toast’: GOP leaves Raffensperger twisting in the wind

The Georgia GOP secretary of state who bucked Donald Trump is up against serious resistance within his own party.

The former president is obsessed with defeating him next year. He’s getting mauled by his own state party. Last week alone, a Republican congressman announced he’d challenge in the primary and the state legislature voted to strip his office of some official powers.

By most accounts, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger doesn’t have a prayer of being reelected.

“He’s toast,” said Jay Williams, a Georgia-based Republican strategist. “I don’t know that there’s a single elected official who would put their neck out for Brad Raffensperger right now.”

Not everyone in state political circles is convinced Raffensperger’s political plight is so grim. Some still see a path to reelection, despite the serious resistance within his own party.

Yet after refusing to buckle to Donald Trump’s requests to change the state’s vote count and feuding with Trump over the former president’s baseless claims of widespread voter fraud...

Lol. Politico.

Raffensperger and his subordinate lied to the MSM about the Trump phone call. When the lie about the phone call got incorporated in the SHAMpeachment 2.0 articles, Raffensperger and his subordinate didn't set the record straight, and tried to destroy potential evidence. They should be fearing an involuntary career change to modeling orange jumpsuits in the catwalks of the GreyBar Hotel and practicing wet-soap-grasping.
