Incumbent Brad Raffensperger defended his embattled tenure as Secretary of State managing Georgia’s contentious elections, as his Democratic challenger Bee Nguyen attacked his efforts on Tuesday in their only scheduled debate. They were joined by Libertarian Ted Metz at the event sponsored by the Atlanta Press Club at the Georgia Public Broadcasting studios.
Raffensperger was at the center of the 2020 election controversies. Then President Donald Trump’s telephone call urging him to find additional Trump votes, was cited in the first article of Trump’s second impeachment. Raffensperger and his deputy Gabe Sterling have both testified before Congress.
