GA Republican Senators Call for Sec. of State to Step Down After They Fail to Win Their Races

HeadlineNov 10, 2020

Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is rejecting calls to step down after the state’s two sitting Republican senators, Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, called for his resignation, claiming he had “failed to deliver honest and transparent elections.” Loeffler and Perdue made the stunning request after both of their races went to runoffs against Democratic challengers and with President-elect Joe Biden on the verge of becoming the first Democratic presidential candidate to win Georgia since 1992. Raffensperger dismissed part of Loeffler and Perdue’s claims as “laughable.”
