6. How many Republican SoS are there in question?

There is Georgia yes, but AZ, PA, MI, and WI all have Democrats as SoS.

Secretary of State of Arizona - Katie Hobbs, since 2019 (elected position, previously held by Republican Michele Reagan)
Secretary of State of Wisconsin - Doug La Follette, since 1983 (elected position, longest serving SoS in WI state history)
Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania - Kathy Boockvar, since 2019 (appointed by PA Gov. Tom Wolf)
Michigan Secretary of State - Jocelyn Benson, since 2019 (elected position, previously held by Republican Ruth Johnson)

This is why Trump is leaning on GA so hard. This is the only in-party person he can go to. The other 4 probably told him to pound sand when he put feelers out.

On Edit:
Trump may be bitching so much about MI and AZ because he won in 2016, but both states flipped blue in local elections between now and then.
