Georgia’s Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Brad Ravensberger revealed that he has recently come under increasing pressure from members of the Republican Party, including prominent Republican Sen. Lindsay Graham, following his assertion of the integrity of the elections in the state.
In an interview with the “Washington Post”, Ravensberger said that he and his wife were being threatened with death, indicating that he informed the authorities of these threats.
These pressures on Ravensberger, who disagreed with his party after defending the voting process in the state’s leading Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, come at a time when Georgia is going through a difficult phase of manually counting 5 million votes. .
Ravensberger has expressed dismay at statements by Trump and his allies about the fairness of election results in Georgia, a state where a Republican candidate generally wins.
“It’s very frustrating, especially when this comes from colleagues in the Republican Party,” he added, adding: “The fraud allegations will be thoroughly investigated, but there is no reliable evidence of fraud on a scale large enough to influence the outcome. of the elections “.
The main media announced that the Democratic candidate Joe Biden won the electoral race for the White House, while the current President Donald Trump rejects this result and insists on the existence of a process of “fraud” in the elections.
Georgia state law gives the candidate the right to request a recount, if the difference in progress is less than 0.5 percent, while Biden is ahead of Trump by 0.3 percent.
Elections officials said Monday that a recount had resulted in more than 2,500 votes in a single county that had not previously been counted, but that would not change the overall outcome of the contest.
Election officials in the state also confirmed that they will not announce any results until the entire counting process is completed in the various provinces, while Georgia is likely to certify the final results of the elections there next Friday.
