Raffensperger dreamed of glory and woke up with egg on his face...

He really worked the lead up to this election. Mailed out ballot applications with his name plastered on them. Hyped up how ready Georgia was...how safe and accessible it was going to be. Commercials, news releases, the whole 9 yards.

NOW he's trying to put the blame on everyone else. So typical!

I'm not even saying there weren't plenty of extenuating circumstances to go around, but he needs to take accountability for the *- show that happened Tuesday.

He's a rePuke. They have no idea what responsibility and accountability even mean, except as applied to someone else!

are the county’s responsibility.

We can blame the GOPer for all the issues Tuesday in Dekalb and Fulton counties, but the counties are the ones that screwed that up. And they need to get to work resolving the situation right now, or it will cost us in November.

Voters need to do their part by voting early or by mail.

Look into Brian Kemp’s actions as secretary of state. Should answer a lot of questions. My question is why don’t they just put racist in front of their titles?

where you have the opportunity! You can still vote in person on election day. Just take your absentee ballot to the poll & turn it in. That way, no matter what they do to prevent voting won't matter. Your vote will be counted & you won't be exposed to the virus either! Ga. was stupid this time. I understand they wanted to use the new machines ay least once before the General Election, but they didn't allow enough time to do it right, even if the machine supplier was most efficient. They didn't have enough time. Some new machines were delivered to the polling place ON ELECTION DAY!

but I did see a commercial recently which highlighted all of Raffensperger's mistakes. And he's not even up for re-election.
