In a USA Today op-ed published Wednesday, Georgias Republican secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, claimed he was thrown under the bus by President Donald Trump when he wouldnt help to declare Republicans the winners of elections they lost in the state.

In the article, Raffensperger commends the state of Georgia for conducting a wildly successful and smooth election, and he said that feat is worthy of celebration even among people whose preferred presidential candidate lost.

For those wondering, mine lost, Raffensperger said, referencing Trump. My family voted for him, donated to him and are now being thrown under the bus by him.

Last week, Raffensperger alleged Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and other members of his party urged him to unlawfully disqualify ballots cast in Georgia, a state President-elect Joe Biden won by thousands of votes . Following Trumps lead, Graham, Georgia Republican Sens. Kelly Loeffler and David Perdue, and other conservatives throughout the country have pushed absurd conspiracy theories about voting irregularities in the state, including a theory alleging Georgias voting machines were engineered to disenfranchise Trump voters. Since election day, Raffensperger has become a pariah among conservatives for his refusal to hand Republicans victories in races they lost.
