"SNIP.....

The Republican civil war in Georgia intensified Tuesday after Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue lambasted Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office for not having provided them with publicly available voter registration data. Raffensperger was not having it.

“It’s been one week since the voter registration deadline passed and the Secretary of State has failed to compile and release a final list of newly registered voters,” Loeffler said Monday in a statement on behalf of herself and Perdue. “This is totally unacceptable.” The failure might threaten the integrity of the runoff elections, she warned. Raffensperger’s response reflected his rage at being targeted by his fellow Republicans for the crime of having run a reasonably fair election.

“Though I’ve told the Republican Party to stop focusing on me and instead direct their energies to winning the Senate runoffs, clearly they haven’t listened,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “As embarrassing as it is for Sens. Perdue and Loeffler not to know that the data they want is already publicly available from the Secretary of State, it’s even worse that they’re not aware their own campaigns already have the data they’re looking for. Early voting has already started but it’s not too late for them to call their offices and get their campaigns in order.”

Ouch. 

Raffensperger’s statement further quoted a National Republican Senatorial Committee representative as saying: “They have those lists.”

All the Georgia's Republicans cry about this shit and then say how much they support Trump and these two idiots.

11. They're trying to "Go Rogue against the Deep State" to appeal to Trump's base

They speak worse gibberish out of both sides of their mouths than Trump's most misbegotten tweets. But that's SOP for GOP entitled white racists in GA (for online GOP entitled white racists as well).
