Prosecutors have accused Meadows of unlawful behavior for attempting to change the certified vote returns in the state. Meadows and the five others charged in the case held federal positions when the indictment’s offenses occurred. All have contend...

On Monday, the Georgia Supreme Court rejected Donald Trump’s request to shut down the inquiry into his false election fraud claims in the state. Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis has signaled that indictments may be brought against the former president in the coming weeks.

On Tuesday, the Georgia grand jury that will consider charges against Donald Trump for attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election was sworn in.

Trump then asked state lawmakers to hold a special session to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory. He and his allies filed lawsuits and tried conv...

For almost three years, he and his allies have relentlessly shamed state and federal governments for voter fraud, despite evidence that repeatedly suggested that th...

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) defeated congressman and former President Donald Trump-endorsed Jody Hice (R) by receiving over 50% of the vote and avoiding a runoff on Tuesday night. Most races for secretary of state are low-key, but Georgia’s race has been particularly closely watched because Raffensperger notably refused to “find the votes” at Trump’s request to overturn the 2020 election in a January 2021 phone call. He became the subject of backlash from some members of the Republican party over his decision. He still won 52% of the vote. Hice’s campaign was based on ele...
