Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says his office is putting noses to the grindstone to ensure election transparency and trust with voters ahead of 2024.

He’s also confident about where he stands with Georgia’s GOP after his 2022 reelection, where he garnered 51.9% of the vote against his Trump-backed opponent, Rep. Jody Hice.

“I look at Republicans, conservative voters, and I think that by and large when you look at the resounding success I had in my primary, and then also when I look at the winning margin I had statewide, I got high marks,” Raffensperger said.
