17. The two elections are not comparable and Raffensperger knows it.

It's a shame he felt the need to write an opinion piece that didn't stick to the current election . His performance and his public behavior were both so impressively professional -- until now. If he'd just kept his mouth shut we'd still be able to sing his praises. We needn't have bothered, because in this piece he manages to toot his own horn just fine.

So, he starts with a rebuke against trump, unfairly comparing trump and Stacey Abrams, then throws himself a bothsiderist pity party, closing by dancing as close to the line as he can in campaigning for the remaining Repub runoff candidates...

Many of my fellow Republicans are men and women of integrity. They demonstrate it each and every day: fighting for their constituents, fighting for liberty, and fighting for fair and reliable elections.

In times like these, we need leaders of integrity to guide us through.


Yep, he's a garden variety hypocritical Republican jerk after all. Ugh.
