An ally of former President Donald Trump has announced a 2022 bid for Georgia secretary of state, pitting him against the incumbent Republican, who clashed with Trump repeatedly over last year’s election results in the state.
Rep. Jody Hice (R-Ga.) took aim on March 22 at Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, claiming that actions by the state’s top elections official served to “create cracks in the integrity of our elections, which I wholeheartedly believe individuals took advantage of in 2020.”
