Today, American Bridge 21st Century released a new video highlighting Republican gubernatorial nominee Rick Jackson’s long record of election denialism — from attacking Georgia officials who upheld the 2020 results to claiming the National Guard would “watch” polling sites during the November election he is trying to win.
Last month, Jackson was caught on tape entertaining conspiracies that Democrats would “cheat” in November and claiming Gov. Brian Kemp would deploy the National Guard to “watch” the election at Jackson’s direction. His comments came amid national concerns that Donald Trump could attempt to use the federal government to interfere in elections across the country.
Georgians deserve to cast their ballots without intimidation and trust that their votes will be counted. Rick Jackson’s record shows that he cannot be trusted to defend either principle.
Rick Jackson’s Record of Election Denialism:
- Told voters the National Guard would “watch” the election he was trying to win: Jackson claimed Kemp would use the National Guard to “watch” the November election after an attendee expressed fears that Democrats would cheat.
- Denied Georgia’s verified 2020 results: Jackson called the election “totally ridiculous” and “terrible,” despite multiple counts confirming the outcome.
- Attacked Georgia’s secretary of state for following the law: Jackson branded Raffensperger a “Judas” after he refused Trump’s demands to overturn the election.
- Accused Fulton County of decades of cheating: Jackson claimed the county had been “cheating on voting” for 40 years without offering evidence.
- Backed partisan manipulation of congressional maps: Jackson supported redrawing Georgia’s districts to benefit Republicans.
