GA GOP Attempts to Block Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from Running as Republican

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger

The Georgia GOP appears intent on punishing its own, who dares to cross their Fearless Leader, even if they are upholding their Oath of Office.

Brad Raffensperger, the Georgia Secretary of State is under fire for refusing to help Trump overturn his loss in the 2020 election.

Alex Johnson, Chairman of the Georgia Republican Assembly, a group that tries to influence the party, is griping that Raffensperger “has been ignoring and disrespecting the party”, including attempts to change the election system and that they should be allowed to “divorce” him.

“He doesn’t listen to anything that the Republican party has asked him to do,” Johnson said Monday. “He is hostile and has been hostile towards our presidential nominee and now a person who is president.”

Delegates voted overwhelmingly on Saturday on a series of resolutions, including one, “declaring that the party shall not take any action to allow Brad Raffensperger to qualify as a Republican” for future elections.

But, this may be going nowhere as party Chairman Josh McKoon stated afterwards that state law would not allow them to disqualify Raffensperger only if he falsely swore the loyalty oath required of Republican party candidates.

“I don’t really see a way for the Georgia Republican Party to decline someone the opportunity to qualify,” McKoon said.

Raffensperger is considering running for Governor or the US Senate in 2026.
