Georgia secretary of state slams Perdue and Loeffler for demanding voter data they already have
December 15, 2020
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger would like Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler to re-evaluate their priorities.
On Monday, the two senators facing re-election runoffs in January tried once again to discourage confidence in the upcoming election, demanding an updated list of registered voters before early voting began. But as Raffensperger, a Republican, pointed out in a Tuesday press release, Loeffler and Perdue already had the information they were looking for. Though I ve told the Republican Party to stop focusing on me and instead direct their energies to winning the Senate runoffs, clearly they haven t listened, Raffensperger said in the release. He went on to call it embarrassing that Perdue and Loeffler not only don t know the information they want is publicly available, but also that it s in the hands of their campaigns as well. A

A Biden campaign official said that, while in Georgia, “the President-elect will underscore what’s at stake for the country in the midst of a still worsening pandemic.”
“He will speak directly to Georgians ability to vote for change and lawmakers dedicated to getting help immediately to those who are suffering when they cast their ballots for Jon Ossoff and Reverend Raphael Warnock,” the official continued. “The President-elect will also echo his message of unity and a battle for the soul of the nation that led to him getting 81 million votes across the country more than any presidential candidate in history and becoming the first Democrat in decades to win the state of Georgia during a presidential election.
Wisconsin’s Presidential Electors cast votes for Biden/Harris
At the Capitol Monday, Wisconsin’s electors cast their 10 votes for President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
“Today we did our part, to continue the long and sacred tradition of our democracy, of honoring the will of the people,” said Governor Tony Evers. Electors included Evers, Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, state Representative Sheila Stubbs of Madison, and Ben Wikler, chair of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin.
The meeting took place just a short time after the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 4-3 against a Trump campaign lawsuit seeking to toss out more than 200,000 in-person absentee ballots cast in Dane and Milwaukee counties.
