elections.Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger told Insider that "a basis of misinformation and disinformation campaigns," are the biggest threats to upcoming elections in the US in an interview last month.
Raffensperger spoke to Insider after releasing his new book "Integrity Counts," which is a memoir of his life and political career, with a behind-the-scenes focus on the two months between Election Day 2020 and his infamous January 2 phone call with President Donald Trump.
Raffensperger also spoke extensively to Insider's Grace Panetta about the dueling political landscape in Georgia comparing Stacey Abrams and Donald Trump also writing about how the loss of his son propelled his political career.
In the book, he also describes a way forward for the GOP, charging that certain leaders in the party have lost their "moral compass" for endorsing lies about voter fraud.

From OP link:
When asked about the biggest threat to his own reelection race as well as races across the country, Raffensperger told Insider, "I really think it's a basis of misinformation and disinformation campaigns, where candidates or their consultants are blame-shifting and trying to find excuses when the candidate just came up short."
