Ignore FBI raid noise and focus on the real story: Free and fair elections

(Atlanta Journal-Constitution) -snip-Joe Biden won the 2020 election in Georgia. The results were verified, audited and/or recounted on three different occasions, and confirmed each time.

President Trump did all he could to alter the outcome, instructing Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find 11,780 votes.” But Raffensperger stood his ground. So did Georgia’s Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, then-Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan and Republican Attorney General Chris Carr.

For more than five years, the president has been unable to put the 2020 election behind him. The Department of Justice has made several attempts to pick at the scab, and each time, despite opening old wounds, the courts have declined to relitigate the outcome.

Still, emboldened by Trump’s 2024 reelection, the U.S. Department of Justice and Georgia’s State Election Board issued new subpoenas last year seeking access to 2020 election records, and those requests are being litigated.
