Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Tuesday told reporters his office has been spending money from its budget on Narcan, a medication used to reverse opioid overdoses, to distribute to local election officials in the Peach State after Raffensperger himself was mailed an envelope that tested positive for fentanyl last month, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
“We have all these things that keep us up at night. Our job right now is to be prepared for the 2024 election. Some people are just off-kilter. And I just think we need to get back to those values that our parents raised us with, the values of our country,” Raffensperger said. “We’re in a much better place than other states, but yet we still have some angry people out there. All that anger and vitriol, those thoughts of retribution, I don’t think that’s the American way,” he continued naively.
