Georgia Lawmaker Jones Weighs Run to Be State’s Secretary of State
2020-12-29
[EpochTimes] Georgia state Rep. Vernon Jones, a Democrat who is a supporter of President Donald Trump
...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
, indicated recently that he may be open to running for election in 2022 to be the state’s secretary of state.

"A lot of people have been urging me to run for Georgia’s Secretary of State," Jones wrote on Twitter on Dec. 23.

"The people of Georgia deserve to have faith in the integrity of our elections again. It might just be time to help #DrainTheSwamp right here at home."

Jones, a lifelong Democrat, delivered a speech at the Republican National Convention on Aug. 24, in support of Trump’s reelection.

He believes there was fraud during the general election in November.

"There are too many sworn affidavits, there are too many people who have felt like their rights have been infringed upon, their voting rights," Jones told The Epoch Times during a rally in Washington on Dec. 12.

Trump referred to the current secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, as an "enemy of the people" and claimed that Georgia had a "fraudulent system" in late November.

Running the elections is one of the main responsibilities of a state’s secretary of state.
