The law also strips Georgia’s secretary of state of his role as chief elections officer.

“I wouldn’t have written the bill this way,” said Sterling, the chief operating officer for the Secretary of State’s Office. “I definitely wouldn’t have written a bill that took my boss, Secretary Brad Raffensperger, who did a great job ... out of the role as chief elections officer of the state elections board.”

Asked by CNN’s Pamela Brown if he saw that move as punitive, Sterling answered simply: “Yes.”
