Four years ago, Georgia found itself embroiled in a contentious battle as then-President Donald Trump and his allies sought to overturn his election loss. The state's election officials, including Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and individual poll workers, faced a barrage of attacks ranging from harassment to physical threats and legal action.
Fast forward to the present day, and concerns about a potential repeat of these assaults on election workers have led to the establishment of a new legal defense fund. This initiative, spearheaded by allies of Raffensperger, aims to provide legal assistance to election officials who may be targeted, harassed, or sued for simply carrying out their duties in this crucial battleground state.
