Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is objecting to efforts to keep former President Donald Trump off the ballot in 2024, as some groups continue to push the initiative in several states.
Raffensperger said in an op-ed to the Wall Street Journal that voters should be allowed to decide whether Trump wins the primary and becomes president next November."Mr. Trump might win the nomination and general election. Or he could lose. The outcomes should be determined by the people who show up to make their preference known in primaries and the general election on Nov. 5," Raffensperger said.
Some conservative legal scholars and critics of the former president say the 14th Amendment bars those who’ve taken an oath to support the Constitution from holding office again if they’ve “engaged in insurrection” against the United States or “given aid or comfort” to its enemies. They argue that Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election disqualify him under those rules.
"Since 2018, Georgia has seen losing candidates and their lawyers try to sue their way to victory. It doesn’t work," Raffensperger said."Stacey Abrams’s claims of election mismanagement following the 2018 election were rejected in court, as were Mr. Trump’s after the 2020 election."
