Georgia election chief rebuts Trump’s false voting integrity claims

Georgia’s top election official, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, publicly rejected President Donald Trump’s repeated accusations that the state’s vote-counting is compromised. In an interview, Raffensperger asserted that the election will be "free, fair and fast" and that results will be posted by midnight on Election Day, expressing confidence that the outcome can be trusted. He noted that state voter rolls have undergone three audits and are rated 99 percent accurate.

Trump’s remarks, made during a recent rally, also questioned the legitimacy of Senator Jon Ossoff’s 2020 victory. Raffensperger indicated he has not received any communication from federal authorities regarding intervention in Georgia’s election. Early voting is already underway, with 900,000 ballots cast by noon, a 9 percent rise over the previous cycle.
