A federal judge has rejected Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger's request to raise unlimited campaign funds. His independent committee, Safe Affordable Georgia, filed a lawsuit seeking permission to bypass fundraising limits. Raffensperger argues the current law violates his First Amendment rights, as his opponent, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, can raise unlimited funds under a 2021 law. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Eleanor L. Ross ruled against Raffensperger, though she acknowledged the law might be unconstitutional. Raffensperger has appealed. The law allows leadership committees to raise money year-round, potentially giving certain candidates an edge.
