Here's a little-known story that people don't know about what
happened in Georgia. Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger’s no
hero. He thought that he had disqualified enough votes to give
Trump the win, because they disqualified so many. But what they
didn't expect was groups like Rainbow PUSH, Black Voters Matter
Fund, and the Transformative Justice Coalition, who manned phone
banks. When a ballot is disqualified in Georgia, you have the right
as a voter to go in and “cure” it — fix it. So if you used a red
pen, you refill out the ballot in black. If you signed your
signature in a different way than when you registered or on your
driver's license, you can re-sign it. And these groups literally
got tens of thousands of people to go into County Clerk's offices
and fix their ballots — which Raffensperger has told me he wasn’t
expecting. He was dead shocked. It wasn't the Democratic party that
did this. The Democratic party sat on its hands. But the activists
went out and got thousands and thousands of voters to go back to
the County Clerk’s office and fix their ballots. And that's what
put Biden over the top, and ultimately put Ossoff and Warnock in
the Senate, because of this tremendous grassroots effort.
Raffensperger thought that he had beaten them, but he wasn’t going
to go to jail for Trump. That's where Raffensperger drew the line.
That doesn't make him a hero. It makes him a co-conspirator who got
cold feet and jumped out of the getaway car. ️ @RickSmithShow
