The case alleges \u201ccontractors for the New Georgia Project forged signatures and submitted incomplete forms.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While some may see the investigation as politically motivated, it\u2019s worth noting that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/georgia-officials-open-investigation-into-trumps-call-with-brad-raffensperger\">launched<\/a> an investigation of President Donald Trump\u2019s phone call with Georgia election officials earlier this year in which Trump urged them to \u201cfind\u201d additional votes. It\u2019s also worth noting that those same officials repeatedly rebuffed claims from Trump that there was widespread voter fraud in the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe investigation was prompted by a complaint from George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf III,\u201dAJC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/politics\/georgia-investigation-opened-into-trumps-call-to-overturn-election\/GQ3WSOLP7VENRG4PVCCRAPMOBI\/\">reported<\/a> separately. \u201cBy opening the inquiry, the secretary of state\u2019s law enforcement investigators will be looking into allegations involving Raffensperger, who is their boss. Election investigations can take months or years before they\u2019re referred to the State Election Board, where Raffensperger is the chairman.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Walter Jones, a spokesperson for Raffensperger, said in a statement:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The secretary of state\u2019s office investigates complaints it receives. The investigations are fact-finding and administrative in nature. Any further legal efforts will be left to the attorney general.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThere was nothing improper or untoward about a scheduled call between President Trump, Secretary Raffensperger and lawyers on both sides,\u201d Trump adviser Jason Miller said in a statement. \u201cIf Mr. Raffensperger didn\u2019t want to receive calls about the election, he shouldn\u2019t have run for secretary of state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>During campaign, Warnock was criticized repeatedly over radical statements that he made while he was pastor (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/warnock-called-republicans-gangsters-thugs-and-child-killers-for-passing-tax-cut\">1<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/warnock-praised-farrakhans-nation-of-islam-in-2013-an-important-voice\">2<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/warnock-america-must-repent-for-its-worship-of-whiteness\">3<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-raphael-warnock-nobody-can-serve-america-in-the-military-while-also-serving-god\">4<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/warnock-2014-jeremiah-wrights-god-damn-america-sermon-christian-preaching-at-its-best\">5<\/a>) and by multiples scandals, including accusations of&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/camper-comes-forward-alleging-abuse-at-warnock-church-camp\">abuse<\/a> that allegedly happened at a camp that he oversaw and a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-great-actor-warnocks-wife-told-police-after-incident-that-she-kept-how-he-really-was-under-wraps-for-a-long-time\">domestic dispute<\/a> with his ex-wife to which law enforcement had to respond.<\/p>\n<p>An <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/2020\/12\/02\/raphael-warnock-might-be-too-radical-georgia-senate\/\">op-ed<\/a> in The Washington Post suggested that attacks on Warnock\u2019s extreme views may have actually been too \u201csoft.\u201d The piece noted that Warnock slammed attacks on socialism and that he \u201cgenuinely believes that America is a fallen, corrupt nation, befouled by racism and besmirched by capitalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
