A few months removed from the 2022 election cycle, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says Georgia voters are happy and pleased.
“We had stronger turnout in November 2022 than we did November 2020 and that was a presidential election,” said Raffensperger on Monday’s edition of “Closer Look.”
He talked to show host Rose Scott that Senate Bill 202 and House Bill 316 go hand and hand and have contributed to Georgia voters being more confident in the voter process.
“People want to know that they their vote is secure, accurate, and there’s a process for that,” said Raffensperger.
During the conversation, Raffensperger talked about his top priorities for the 2023 legislative session and shared that polls revealed that 60% of Georgians and local county election directors support ending runoff elections in Georgia.
“We want to have safe and secure elections for everyone,” explained Raffensperger.
