The Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s senior political reporter Greg Bluestein is joined by columnist Patricia Murphy on Wednesday’s episode of the “Politically Georgia” podcast, as the pair discusses what’s next after last week’s FBI raid on a Fulton County election warehouse.

Murphy and Bluestein discuss the possibility of criminal charges and whether President Donald Trump’s allies will try to take over the county’s elections.

Then the duo talks about Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger breaking his silence about the raid. Raffensperger is a Republican candidate for Georgia governor.
