(22,047 posts)How could he lie?
Raffensperger and his family have been threatened because he stood up for the truth. Even though he's a Republican, he'll be a powerful witness. Remember that the witnesses have been Republicans. This is to preemptively counter the charge that the committee is a partisan attack.
Besides, the committee wouldn't put him on TV if hey had any doubt he'd mess around.

(22,047 posts)Like any smart "prosecution," the committee won't ask questions they don't already know the answers to. Because Raffensperger has already testified, he won't contradict his previous testimony under penalty of perjury. He has a future so he won't mess it up.
Why are you so skeptical when so many Republicans have already testified to Trump's crimes? Barr's testimony was as harsh as it could get yet he said he would still vote for Trump if he were the Republican nominee. Barr told the truth on both accounts but they don't nullify one another.
Anyway, let's see what happens tomorrow. Have a good night, chole.
