Georgia GOP senators target Raffensperger over voter registration lists

Several Georgia Republican senators introduced a resolution Tuesday demanding that Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger comply with the Trump administration’s pursuit of the state’s unredacted voter registration list.
Raffensperger objected to the effort, saying state law prevents sharing voters’ private information such as full Social Security numbers, dates of birth and driver’s license numbers.
The U.S. Department of Justice has requested voter lists from all 50 states in recent months, saying it wants to ensure accurate registration information. The DOJ sued Georgia for the statewide voter list last month.
The Senate resolution comes from allies of Republican Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, who is running for governor against Raffensperger. The resolution is largely symbolic and doesn’t carry the force of a law.
It accuses Raffensperger of “willful and persistent obstruction” after his office provided a version of Georgia’s voter list to the U.S. Department of Justice
