Georgia s top elections official defended the 2020 results. Now he s defending the state s new voting law. By Caroline Linton Georgia secretary of state on voting law
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, who was pressured by President Trump to change the election results in his state in the 2020 presidential election, is now defending the state s new, stricter voting law against a lawsuit by the U.S. Justice Department.
Raffensperger told CBSN s Tanya Rivero on Tuesday that he sees absolutely no merit in the lawsuit and insisted there is record voter turnout in the state.
Attorney General Merrick Garland alleged in a lawsuit filed last week that Georgia s election law was enacted with the purpose of denying or abridging the right of Black Georgians to vote on account of their race or color, in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Biden is sure the Georgia bill amounts to voter suppression while McConnell is sure the same bill promotes voting integrity. Both lifelong politicians hectored private corporations to do their bidding. Biden expressed support for business leaders, such as the CEOs of Georgia-based Coca-Cola and Delta, that condemned it; McConnell threatened to sanction corporations who speak against it.
Some corporate leaders expressed prideful duty in criticizing the bill, issuing corporate press releases or signing group statements. On the other hand, some signatories may have been acting under pressure while most companies stayed on the sidelines of what’s widely seen as an “impossible” or “no-win” situation for the private sector. After all, business organizations are neither equipped nor elected to resolve political battles.
