Delegates at the Georgia GOP convention in Dalton on Saturday passed a resolution that would not allow Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to qualify as a Republican for elected office, with one reason citing that the elected official “does not have the faith and confidence of the Georgia Republican Party.”
