Georgia Secretary Of State Brad Raffensperger Is In Costly Litigation For Peddling Lies About GOP Election Volunteer

 Jacki Pick, a Republican volunteer on the Trump legal team, was the sole presenter of the video to Georgia legislators to show that Republican election observers’ claims about unsupervised ballot counting in Georgia’s largest county were true.

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is facing a powerful defamation lawsuit arising from false claims he made about a Republican election volunteer in his 2021 book “Integrity Counts.” He wrote and published that a video presentation of unsupervised ballot counting at State Farm Arena in Atlanta had been “doctored,” “chopped up,” “cut,” “sliced up,” and “deceptively sliced and edited so that it appeared to show the exact opposite of reality,” allegedly including a “slice of video that had removed the clear evidence” that the law had been followed.

While she did not show the entire 20 hours of the video in her 12-minute presentation, nothing she showed was edited, chopped up, sliced, or diced, in any way.

For example, in March 2020, Raffensperger succumbed to the legal efforts of Democrat activist Marc Elias to water down signature verification requirements for mail-in ballots.

Pick never once asked Mr. Raffensperger to make statements regarding the 2020 election; her only concern is in repairing her damaged reputation caused by false statements made by Mr. Raffensperger in 2021, a full year later.

It came a year after he oversaw one of the most controversial state elections of 2020.

None of that was true.
