By law, President Donald Trump’s request for a recount will take place this week in Georgia’s presidential race.

He’s been very critical of State Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s handling of the close race.

The president’s fellow members of the Republican Party have echoed his criticism of Raffensperger. In addition, there have been death threats and vile texts sent to Raffensperger and his wife.
