The actor and former governor of California presented Brad Raffensperger with the Democracy Action Hero Award on Tuesday. The award is given to public officials "who showed true leadership, bravery and a commitment to American democracy in the 2020 general election," according to a press release. The online award ceremony will honored five individuals "who stood up to attacks and intimidation while working diligently to ensure the integrity of our election process," they said.
