Former Sen. Kelly Loeffler is asking the Attorney General to investigate Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, echoing some conspiracy claims made about the SOS.
Loeffler openly worked to undermine confidence in the election and lost her runoff partially because of it. #gapol

"Voting rights are not a partisan issue" is quite a statement to be made, considering history+present.
Also, this letter is full of misunderstandings and incorrect info about Georgia's elections - a trend for Loeffler, who still claims there are 2m unregistered voters out there.

Raffensperger responds: “Kelly Loeffler’s failure to convince anyone she actually was a Trump supporter is the reason Georgia doesn’t have a Republican Senator or the United States a Republican Senate. The letter and the allegations in it are laughable." https://twitter.com/stphnfwlr/status/1387436182787735554?s=20
Let's go through this point by point.
1) Raff didn't take action after June primary didn't go well?
The SOS literally held a presser days later outlining steps to make better+hold counties accountable, plus worked with them to better allocate equipment https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/06/17/elections-chief-calls-for-more-polls-training-tech-support-avoid-november-meltdown

2) The double voting claims: Apart from the guy that admitted he did it on purpose, there's not widespread evidence presented to State Election Board or AG's office of specific cases.
In today's SEB hearing, there's a few up for discussion. https://www.gpb.org/news/2020/09/08/georgia-reveals-double-voting-cases-no-evidence-of-malign-intentions

3) Settlement agreement:
'"Among other things, the settlement sets steps for local election officials to notify a voter -- by phone, mail or email -- in a timely fashion about problems with a signature."

4) Georgia SOS got funds from Zuckerberg's CEIR to push people to vote by mail and to "counteract disinformation"
...that Loeffler and other Republicans were pushing about Georgia's election system!

5) The Republican-controlled State Elections Board made emergency rule changes for secured, 24/7 video-recorded drop boxes that most counties used.
There's no evidence of any fraud with sending out absentee applications to all active voters.
None.

6) The day after we reported on the Trump call, Loeffler took the stage at a Trump rally in Dalton and said she would object to the Electoral College count (before reneging following a violent insurrection attempt at the Capitol).
Reduced faith came from Trump's words, maybe?

7) Former Sen. Loeffler, I'd like to introduce you to... the State Election Board, which is literally meeting at this moment to hear cases from 2020 and other elections.
Loeffler either has no idea how any of this election stuff works or is banking on Republicans not either.

Kelly Loeffler hasn't said very many true things about voting and elections in Georgia, both before+after losing hers.
The "voting group" she founded has basic facts wrong about voting in Georgia.
Don't report/reprint her statements without that context. She has no evidence.

One more thing - The Attorney General's office represents the Secretary of State's office and will not/would not be investigating their own client. So this letter is both factually misleading and basically pointless from a practical standpoint.
