Raffensperger campaign finance Georgia.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is the latest Republican candidate for Georgia governor to attack campaign finance rules that allow Lt. Gov. Burt Jones to raise unlimited contributions. A political action committee chaired by Raffensperger is suing in federal court in Atlanta saying the law is unconstitutional. Lawyers for the secretary of state are asking a judge to rule that Raffensperger’s committee should be able to coordinate with his gubernatorial campaign just as Jones’ leadership committee can. It’s the latest round of litigation over Georgia’s leadership committee law. Critics see the law as an incumbent protection racket, helping Gov. Brian Kemp, Jones and other Republicans maintain control of state politics.
