After embracing Trump's effort to overturn vote, GOP congressman wants to run Georgia's elections
CNN
Rep. Jody Hice says former President Donald Trump would've won the 2020 election in Georgia if it were "fair." He says that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent out 700,000 ballot applications to "illegal voters," and that there's going to be "some fraud mixed up in there."
To Hice, those "hundreds and hundreds of thousands of votes" were potentially enough to "far outweigh" President Joe Biden's certified victory of roughly 12,000 votes in his state. Hice's various misleading and false claims attempt to undercut the validity of Biden's victory. But Hice, with Trump's support, is now the leading Republican candidate to oust Raffensperger in 2022 and run the 2024 elections for the state of Georgia. It's a trend in battleground states across the country as Trump loyalists seek to become their state's top election officials, which could give them outsized influence in a close race in the 2024 presidential election.More Related News
