Georgia SOS: "the voters will be the one to fire me"

Manu Raju @mkraju (CNN)

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger: “Earlier today Senators Loeffler and Perdue called for my resignation. Let me start by saying that is not going to happen. The voters of Georgia hired me, and the voters will be the one to fire me.

“Was there illegal voting? I am sure there was. And my office is investigating all of it. Does it rise to the numbers or margin necessary to change the outcome to where President Trump is given Georgia’s electoral votes? That is unlikely,” Raffensperger said

See also the PA Senate when an appeal about electors was made.

They have all been crapping on the Republican poll watchers and counters. Could this resentment build up to give some more votes to the Democratic Senate candidates?

To me that says he was elected, not appointed (anyone here from Georgia?)

If that’s true, nothing is going to happen as he is Constitutional vs. statutory and it will (almost) take an act of god to get him out.
