Georgia’s Secretary of State races is awash with money and it seems these funds are coming from outside the state. This article by Don Wiener is published by Exposed by CMD. Here is an excerpt:
When Georgia Congressman Jody Hice joined with 125 other House Republicans to overturn the 2020 election results, he hadn’t yet announced a change of course in his political ambitions. But just two months after the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and that unconscionable vote, his unbridled support of the Big Lie won him Trump’s endorsement to leave Congress and run for secretary of state in Georgia instead.
Since then Hice’s bid to replace the incumbent, Brad Raffensperger – a Republican who famously refused to “find” enough votes to swing the election in the former president’s favor – has opened the floodgates to pro-Trump campaign cash from out of state. At this point in the race, he has accrued an almost three-to-one fundraising advantage over Raffensperger.
This advantage is also pushing Hice ahead of the other leading candidate in the May 24 GOP primary: former Alpharetta mayor David Belle Isle. Even though his entire campaign is also based on claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, Belle Isle is falling behind the former president’s top pick.
