Sec of State Brad Raffensperger Calls Out Larry David for ‘Picking on Georgia’

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger still has a little bit of a bone to pick with Curb Your Enthusiasm star-creator Larry David over the show’s depiction of his state’s ban on giving voters food or water.

In the first episode of Curb’s final season, David invoked Georgia’s newly passed 2021 law as he is shown getting arrested after giving his friend Leon’s aunt a bottle of water as she waited in line to vote. “That’s barbaric, what kinda law is that, are you serious?” David says as he’s being taken away by two cops. The subsequent trial against David’s character extends throughout the show’s final season.

During an interview on the New Yorker’s Radio Hour podcast this week, Raffensperger instructed David to “clean up your own house before you start picking on Georgia,” citing New York’s similar state law which also prohibits distributing food and water to waiting voters. He also mistakenly referred to New York as David’s home when he has actually lived in California for decades.
