Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) denied there is voting fraud happening in the state as it sees historic early-voting turnout this month.
Raffensperger weighed in on claims made by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) about voter fraud in the state after a county experienced an issue with its machines.

He said the issue was “blown out of proportion” online.
“We’re going to respond quickly to these sorts of things in 2024 because it’s not supported by the facts,” Raffensperger said. “The equipment’s working. We’ve done all sorts of audits since the last election and coming up to this election.”
Georgia residents have cast ballots early in historic numbers — more than 1 million Georgians have already voted.
“I’m going to make sure that whoever wins this race, this is what gets certified. I’m going to follow the law and follow the Constitution. I’m going to do my job and that’s what the people of Georgia have elected me to do. I represent the voters of Georgia,” Raffensperger said.
