The most important recent long-term election result may have been Brad Raffensperger’s resounding victory in Georgia’s Republican primary for secretary of state.
In essence, the result was a vote by Georgians for non-partisan supervision of elections, an issue that gained saliency from the way state officials like Raffensperger resisted former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the popular 2020 vote in several key states.
Last week’s Georgia result marked the third straight defeat for one of the facts-denying Trump allies who have formed a fundraising combine to bolster their efforts to take control of the election machinery in more than a dozen states, including the likeliest 2024 battlegrounds.
