republican primaries for governor, and for secretary of state. two trump backed candidates are essentially running single issue campaigns, on the ex president s big lie of a stolen election. you ve got former senator david perdue, close trump ally, who lost his senate seat last year. he s challenging the incumbent republican governor, brian kemp. and you ve got far-right congressman jody hice, who s hoping to oust the current incoming secretary of state, brad raffensperger. these races are notable, not only as a referendum on trump s attempt to do, but also to set the groundwork for the next one. because out of all of trump s attempts to overturn the will of the voters and steal the election, what is the state of georgia, where he put his most effort? part of that of course has to do with how humiliated trump appears to have felt by his defeat over there, not only because the election was widely seen as repudiation to him and his movement, and it has been years since a democr
