Brad Raffensperger expresses frustration with fellow Republicans in Washington Post interview

Top Republicans, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, have applied pressure to have legally cast absentee ballots thrown out, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told the Washington Post on Monday.

In an interview with the Post, Raffensperger, a Republican, said he has been under increasing pressure by fellow Republicans to find ways to invalidate votes in Georgia, where Joe Biden beat President Donald Trump by a narrow margin. Issues have included matching signatures on absentee ballots and voting machines made by Dominion Voting Systems, which have both been the subject of baseless accusations.

Raffensperger expressed frustration over the situation, saying there has been no credible evidence of significant voter fraud in Georgia. He added that he and his wife have received death threats since the election. “Other than getting you angry, it’s also very disillusioning, particularly when it comes from people on my side of the aisle,” he told the Post.

He told the Post he spoke with Graham, the South Carolina Republican, on Friday, and was asked if he has the authority to throw out all mail-in ballots from counties that had higher rates of non-matching signatures.

Raffensperger does not have that authority, and told the Post he was stunned that Graham would suggest that legally filed ballots be rejected.

When contacted by the Post on Monday, Graham denied asking for legal ballots to be excluded. “If he feels threatened by that conversation, he’s got a problem,” Graham told the Post.
