Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he will not step down following calls for his resignation by Sens. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) amid claims of voting irregularities.

“Earlier today Senators Loeffler and Perdue called for my resignation,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “Let me start by saying that is not going to happen. The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the one to fire me.”
