In stating the simple truth that Joe Biden won Georgia, even if the margin was by a slim 12,000 votes, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has opened himself up to the wrath of his own party

"I wish he would have won, and especially in Georgia," said Raffensperger in an interview with CNN's Amara Walker on Friday."I certainly cast my vote for him, but the results are what the results are.

On November 9, Georgia's Republican US Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler called for Raffensperger to resign over unspecific charges of"failures" and questions about the integrity of the election. Gov. Brian Kemp, a Republican who had previously served as secretary of state, stopped short of calling for his successor's resignation. But he did echo the calls from Perdue, Loeffler and Trump to investigate potential fraud.

Do you ever use common sense? He is not being sued to release the video footage of the gym and hallways and elevators because he simply announce Biden won. He was most likely paid off to help yal cheat and steal the US election. Heads will roll. Truth will prevail

Stay Strong SOS

A republican with a set of balls. You don’t see that very often.

Which shows the character of the GOP. They value party over the country.

12,000 votes is not a small margin. 2016 Trump flipped MI. And WI. ,with less than that in each state, and there was no one contested those results. Even though the Russians hacked the election. The GOP needs to get a backbone and “DO YOUR JOB”

He did his job. Only 4 years ago, we would just expect this as part of his normal responsibilities. Today, he should be viewed as a courageous hero. I hate the Republican Party for what they have enabled Trump to do.

This is a honor man. He dont care about Trump.

Brad, don’t be ostracized by your party. You did the right thing, and that GOP is going down anyways so distance yourself from that group of liars manipulators tRump followers. Be a human again.

Brad put the US first before party. Ain’t that what Trump preaches America first. Thank you Secretary Brad for standing for the truth

It's a cult thing so no surprises. What's surprising is how the GOP itself became a cult.

Look at this face! He looks like a lair, that is not a face of anyone I would believe...

The depravity of the GOP on display. They eat their own like starving wolves. They really pledge loyalty to one fat, orange man over Democracy. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Sad times for Republicans.

Projecting, it would be easier unite the Assad hating ensemble than the factions that make up the Trump hating party.

Honesty is the best policy.

12-K votes is not slim. 12 votes is slim. Would you rather have $12 or $12 thousand...thought so.

Hes not a kiss ass like GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP GSAEmily RudyGiuliani senatemajldr

What has happened to the Republican Party, no loyalty, no law and order.

Fake news cnn

You’d think the GOP would be ashamed to attack an honorable man and one of their own too. But no, they are proud.

They don’t respect men with integrity, but I say job well done, Mr. Raffensperger. Thank you for your service.

Re-counting the votes is not the same as validating them.

Republicans will turn on their own with the quickness. They are just like 45. He threw Kemp under the bus, sued his own Republican ran states, has brainwashed his supporters, fires anyone who doesn’t agree with him all while golfing every chance he gets.

It”s rather telling that declining to cheat and lie is apparently the ultimate betrayal for the GOP.

Major voter fraud!!!😝

Were they expecting him to say ' although biden has 12,000 extra votes Trump won the election'? Stop cuddling Trump, he's a freaking grown man, he had plenty of life experiences to learn to deal with lost. Ridiculous

Thank you to him for standing up for What the law states !

Georgia don’t handle McConnell the senate he does not care if your kids eat or have a roof over their heads

If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

Everyone honest is to them.

So he is a bad guy for following the law. Speaks volumes for the Republican party. The Republican party is rotten to the core and Brad Raffensperger is one of the very few bright spots left in the party.

And every time he turned around there was another box found with thousands of ballots that just APPEARED out of THIN AIR!!!! The man lives in a FAIRY LAND, and he will regret not searching for the truth and accepting the lie! He will be Persona Non Grata in both circles!

There’s a cost to acting with integrity. It is not an easy thing to do. Those who lack it, will use any means possible to shoot you down. Stand strong and know that you are not alone.

Come on in...we r not perfect, we have flaws, we don’t have all the answers and we don’t agree on everything...but we r Democrats and Socialists trying to forge a GREATER America. And we respect INTEGRITY 1000% sir. democracyfirst peoplefirst integrity

His party is too corrupt for him

Joe Biden should offer him Attorney General. Seriously. He's got integrity. That ought to be worth something in building a bridge to reunite the states.

That’s because the GOPComplicitTraitors are not interested in the truth! PresidentElectJoeBiden

There is refreshing news here. Raffensberger isn’t promoting this bullshit because he’s doing his job. He’s a republican. We need both parties to work together.

Good, strong man 👍

He should be respected for following the law. The others should be ashamed.

Like he cares GaSecofState he is just doing his job. Bravo.

Georgia election was a disgrace mostly due to pre-election illegal rule changes he authorized. Period.

Let’s thank him

So who are the cheaters? Republicans don’t trust their own. That should be scary. Ppl wake up to what’s happening. Don’t be gullible.

Stay firm.

Tells you what kind of Christians the GOP are - the ones that are against the truth that involves them

I've never been more embarassed to be an American. Political parties will actually now apparently fight til the death to ensure their own success, my state will not pay me the unemployment compensation that I've paid into for years...what a joke.

History will remember you well sir you candid comments and honestly should serve as a bell-weather for the weaker of your party - we may be able tosleep tonight

This is truly sad that a man who is doing the job he was elected to do can’t do it without criticism and threats from rabid Trumpers who want him to switch up election results in their favor and not what America voted for!!

LOL ..Yeah ... dry behind your ears.

arrest

You mean the Trump party

It’s sad how many indecent people oppose the truth. We voted and those results should be certified without anyone being criticized for doing their job here!

It just prove, that realDonaldTrump is a bad loser.

POTUS

Truth matter..

Who cares What's worse that can happen Oh gets voted out. Who gives a shit

No, Only The Wrath Of Unamerican Members Of The Trump Cult. Real Republicans Put This Election Behind Them Over A Week Ago. 😉

Raffensperger must be the German word for bravery!

Biden won. End of story.

He is more than welcome to join the Davinky National Committee!
