Allies of Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, have created a fund to support election officials who are targeted by frivolous lawsuits and to take action against those who hinder election procedures. “If providing this important public service becomes a personal liability, we won’t have election workers,” said Raffensperger, who recently spent more than $500,000 of his own money to defend himself against a lawsuit that arose out of a right-wing conspiracy theory about the 2020 election. The nonprofit Election Defense Fund has raised $2 million of its $5 million goal. (New York Times)
