As Georgia voters continue to turnout in record numbers. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says he will uphold the election results in the state.
“I have no control over human behavior, but what I do and what I will make sure, and what I have made sure since 2018, that I will hold both parties accountable to you, the voters of Georgia, and I stand ready to defend the results of the election,” Raffensperger said.
The comments came during a news conference at the state Capitol Wednesday.
Chief Operating officer Gabriel Sterling said the office is prepared to tackle legal challenges in the wake of the election.
“We’ve already talked to the Governor’s office about lining up special assistant attorney generals,” Sterling said. “If Vice President Harris wins, we expect Trump officials to sue us. If President Trump wins, we expect Harris officials to sue us.”
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Secretary of State’s website showed more than 3.3 million total absentee and early voting ballots cast, with some 29,000 ballots in Clarke County.
“Georgia voters are smashing through every voting record, with more than three million for in-person early voting turnout, which is unprecedented in Georgia history,” according to Raffensperger.
He said those waiting for Election Day will see changes.
"I made sure that one of the things that we put into state law, was that lines on Election Day have to be shorter than one hour.”
Residents can view voting information including the number of votes cast either statewide, or county by county, absentee ballots and more at the data hub located on the Secretary of State’s website.
