Voter Fraud Investigation Ongoing in Georgia

With one Democrat-aligned Georgia group having collected 85,000 voter registration applications and around 20,000 registration forms collected by another – and from 25 – 50 of them thought to be fraudulent – an ongoing investigation is resulting in partisan charges of fraud and intimidation flying back and forth.

Georgia Democrats’ chance to win this year hinges on registering and turning out new voters on Election Day. Namely, Democrats need to draw from the Peach State’s swelling black, Hispanic and Asian populations, communities that largely support Democrats and are slowly turning Georgia from a red state to a purple one.

The stakes are high and go well beyond the Senate race.

These new voters will be critical if Democrat Michelle Nunn (daughter of former Georgia Senator Sam Nunn) is to stand a chance at winning this year’s Senate contest against Republican candidate David Perdue (cousin of former Georgia Governor Sonny Perdue), and the only hope of state Senator Jason Carter (grandson of former President Jimmy Carter) to unseat the Republican governor, Nathan Deal.

For now, the investigation is continuing.

At the the State Elections Board meeting, Kemp’s office stated that there were 25 forms that are not valid and another 26 that are suspect. Kemp’s chief investigator, Chris Harvey, acknowledged that the New Georgia Project has been helpful in identifying the problematic forms.
