The next Georgia governor's election is approaching, with several candidates already visiting Coffee County. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican candidate, recently spoke at South Georgia State College, discussing initiatives on licensing and election security.
Raffensperger gained national attention after the 2020 presidential election for defying then-President Donald Trump's request to alter the vote count in Georgia. This decision led to a lasting feud between the two.
Raffensperger's decision to challenge the president drew Trump's wrath and enmity between the two persist to this day.
Trump has since endorsed another candidate, Lt. Governor candidate, in opposition to Raffensperger.
