Summary​

Jody Hice served as the U.S. Representative for Georgia's 10th Congressional District from 2015 to 2023. A conservative Republican and ordained Baptist minister, he was one of the most vocal congressional critics of the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia. He voted against certifying the 2020 Electoral College results on January 7, 2021 — after the Capitol breach — citing election integrity concerns.

In 2022, Hice ran for Georgia Secretary of State specifically on an election integrity platform, seeking to replace incumbent Brad Raffensperger, who had certified Biden's Georgia victory and resisted pressure from Trump to "find" additional votes. Raffensperger defeated Hice in the Republican primary by a decisive margin.

Ware County Connection​

According to a news report transcribed from a video posted by @Real_RobN (April 7, 2026), Hice expressed outrage on social media regarding the forensic examination of Dominion voting machines in Ware County, Georgia. Per the report:

"That's according to Georgia GOP Congressman Jody Heiss [Hice], who expressed outrage over the matter on Twitter. One lawmaker familiar with the examination said after an equal number of Trump and Biden votes were forensically analyzed, the machines reportedly 87% for Trump, 113% for Biden, when it should be 100% for everyone, for both of them."

"Hice called on state officials to examine all Dominion voting machines for fraud."

This connects Hice to the Fractional Voting allegations against Dominion Voting Systems in Georgia.

Key Actions on Election Integrity​

  • Voted against certifying the 2020 Electoral College results on January 7, 2021
  • Publicly called for forensic audits of Dominion voting machines in Georgia following the Ware County report
  • Called on state officials to examine all Dominion machines for fraud
  • Ran for Georgia Secretary of State in 2022 — lost to Raffensperger in the Republican primary (52% to 34%)
  • Was endorsed by Trump in his Secretary of State bid

Counterarguments and Official Response​

  • Raffensperger, the Republican incumbent Hice sought to unseat, had himself certified Biden's Georgia win after overseeing a hand recount, machine recount, and signature audit — all confirming Biden's margin
  • Hice's calls for Dominion machine audits did not result in a state-authorized forensic examination finding fraud
  • Georgia courts dismissed election fraud lawsuits citing the same Ware County and Fulton County allegations Hice promoted
  • Hice lost the 2022 Republican primary decisively, suggesting the broader GOP electorate in Georgia was not persuaded by his election fraud messaging
