Larry David Got Letter From Georgia Secretary of State Over 'Curb' Plot

Brad Raffensperger sent the note last month, telling David, "We apologize if you didn’t receive celebrity treatment at the local jail. I’m afraid they’ve gotten used to bigger stars. It’s the TMZ of mugshots."

The premiere episode of the final season for the HBO improv comedy featured star-creator Larry David being arrested for violating the state’s election integrity law after giving his friend Leon Black’s (JB Smoove) aunt (played by Ellia English) a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote during a hot day in Atlanta. “As the chief elections officer for the State of Georgia, we’d like to congratulate you on becoming the first and, to our knowledge, only person arrested for distributing water bottles to voters within 150 feet of a polling station,” Raffensperger wrote, before adding a not-so-subtle jab at Trump, whose mugshot in Atlanta inspired David’s. And though David’s legal jeopardy remains in limbo, Raffensperger added that, unfortunately, he lacks the authority to give him a pardon — as TV Larry still faces up to one year in prison and a fine of $10,000 for obstructing the election process in the state of Georgia.
