Georgia Secretary of State opens investigation into groups trying to register people out of state

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is opening an investigation into voter registration fraud being committed ahead of the Jan 5 election:

FOX NEWS – Georgia’s top election official says he is opening an investigation into whether third-party groups are trying to register people from other states to illegally vote in Georgia’s twin Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections, when the GOP’s majority in the chamber is at stake.

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced to reporters on Monday that “we have opened an investigation into a group called America Votes, who is sending absentee ballot applications to people at addresses where they have not lived since 1994.”

Raffensperger, a Republican, also said his investigators are looking into “Vote Forward, who attempted to register a dead Alabama voter, a woman, to vote here in Georgia.” He also spotlighted “The New Georgia Project, who sent voter registration applications to New York City.”

The secretary of state also pinpointed “Operation New Voter Registration Georgia, who is telling college students in Georgia that they can change their residency to Georgia and then change it back after the election.”

Raffensperger emphasized that “voting in Georgia when you’re not a resident of Georgia is a felony. And encouraging college students to commit felonies without regard for what it might mean for them is despicable. These third-party groups have a responsibility not to encourage illegal voting. If they do so, they will be held responsible.”

Gabriel Sterling, the election official who manages Georgia’s voting system, told reporters that “this is new information, these outside groups attempting to register people illegally potentially, in other states.”

Sterling said that these third-party groups appear to be “literally saying ‘hey, it’s OK to commit a felony.’”

An investigation like this is a good thing, especially considering all of the voter fraud that will be happening in the two Senate special elections coming up in January. But a lot of people lack faith in Georgia because of the last election, in both Kemp and Raffensperger.

Also, why not go through all the voter rolls before the next election day and see how many non-residents are registered to vote in Georgia. This guy did and he found a massive amount of people who shouldn’t be voting in Georgia.

The closer we get to January, the more I am concerned we might not be able to keep Perdue’s Senate seat. It just feels like fraud will rule the day once again.
