Jody Hice tried to overturn the 2020 election. Now he wants to be in charge of Georgia's elections.

On January 6, hours after a mob loyal to outgoing President Donald Trump attacked the United States Capitol in a vain attempt to overthrow President Joe Biden’s victory over Trump, Rep. Jody Hice (R-GA) made his own attempt to overturn that election. Hice was one of several US House members who objected to certifying Biden’s victory in Hice’s home state of Georgia.

It wasn’t the first time Hice tried to install the loser of the 2020 election in the White House. In December, Hice was one of 126 Republican members of Congress who unsuccessfully urged the Supreme Court to stop several key states from certifying Biden’s victory.

Now, however, Hice wants to become Georgia’s top elections official — a position that could potentially empower him to skew future elections in favor of Republicans. He announced on Monday that he will run to be Georgia’s next secretary of state.

“Free and fair elections are the foundations of our country,” Hice said in a statement he released less than three months after he attempted to toss out the result of a free and fair election in his home state of Georgia. Hice also promised to “aggressively” pursue “those who commit voter fraud.”
