Raffensperger, who made a name for himself in 2020 by rigging the election that year, is once again trying to tamper with this year's election. Reports indicate that he is quietly raising $5 million to "identify local election officials" who might challenge the election results, the implication being that the powers that be (TPTB) will once again try to steal the election away from Donald Trump and hand the keys to the kingdom over to Kamala Harris.
Kylie Jane Kremer shared a series of posts to X / Twitter that explain how Raffensperger "sent an email, in a private capacity, that went to a list of trial lawyers across Georgia soliciting $5 million by November 1st to help in his effort for a 501(c)4 called 'Election Defense Fund,' asking lawyers to donate or contact him via his private gmail account & personal cell phone number."
In this particular email that Kremer mentioned, Raffensperger wrote the following:
"Election deniers and conspiracy theorists have taken their anger to new levels, employing a variety of tactics including intimidation, legal challenges, and rule changes. In Georgia they have threatened, harassed, and sued election officials. And as you know, most recently the Georgia State Election Board was taken over by three individuals who have pledged to put partisanship over sworn duty."
Raffensperger would seem to be referring to the three Republican members of Georgia's five-person State Election Board: Dr. Janice Johnson, Rick Jeffares, and Janelle King. Raffensperger basically wants these three along with anyone else who might try to challenge the outcome of Georgia's 2024 presidential election to be silenced in anticipation of another planned election steal.

On September 20 of this year, Johnston, Jeffares and King voted to require a hand count of all ballots to ensure that the number of physical ballots matches the machine count total at each precinct level. After what happened in 2020, it makes sense to add this additional layer of verification to ensure accuracy.
One would think that as the state's head of elections, Raffensperger would want the same thing – unless, of course, he is part of an election steal operation that requires there to be easily exploitable loopholes that allow for the ballot count to be manipulated.
Raffensperger wants people to think that he is being the rational one who merely wants to protect Georgia's election process from being manipulated by "activists" who seek to "impose last-minute changes in election procedures outside of the legislative process," as he suggested in a formal statement issued ahead of the State Election Board vote about the hand count.
After seeing that Johnston, Jeffares and King defied his statement and voted for the hand count anyway, Raffensperger is now quietly trying to undermine the process and punish these three for trying to ensure a free and fair election in 2024.
"If you find it odd that Raffensperger would refer to his three fellow Republicans as 'activists' while he worked to thwart common-sense changes that would dramatically increase the security of Georgia's 2024 election, you're not alone," write Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke for Truth over News.
"We were fairly involved in reporting during the aftermath of Georgia's 2020 election ... and can state decisively that we don’t trust Raffensperger for a single second. As we've said many times, we've long believed that something is rotten in Georgia. But we didn't realize the rot was being coordinated across state lines."
