1,000 people double-voted in Georgia primary, says secretary of state
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 09/08/2020 | Mark Niesse

Posted on 09/08/2020 12:12:09 PM PDT by CaptainK

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced Tuesday that 1,000 Georgians voted twice in the state’s June 9 primary, a felony that he said will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

These voters returned absentee ballots and then also showed up to vote on election day June 9, Raffensperger said. County election officials are able to stop double-voting most of the time, but they weren’t able to catch everyone.

“A double voter knows exactly what they’re doing, diluting the votes of each and every voter that follows the law,” Raffensperger said during a press conference at the state Capitol. “Those that make the choice to game the system are breaking the law. And as secretary of state, I will not tolerate it.”

In all, about 150,000 people who requested absentee ballots showed up at polling places on election day, often because they never received their absentee ballots in the mail or decided to instead vote in person.

Of those, 1,000 voters had returned their absentee ballots to county election offices, and poll workers also allowed them to vote in-person.

just a tiny tiny tiny little bit of all the massive D-voter and vote counting fraud we’ll see in November

The cutoff date for mail in ballots should be the Saturday before the election. No ‘found’ ballots afterward.

It’ll turn GA blue if nothing happens.

Maybe this will disqualify them from ever voting again?
What’s the typical outcome of voter fraud?

I think this story is to mock what President Trump said to do. I dont think the reporters really cared people double voted

Hit all of those people with Felonies and get them off the voting rolls forever.

This can’t be. The media says it doesn’t happen. They wouldn’t lie to us, would they?

There’s no party registration in GA. You could perhaps infer from which primary they’d voted in, in the previous few cycles, but you can’t see party affiliation from voter registration, as that isn’t part of the system here.

At least with actual absentee ballots there is a paper trail tying a ballot to a voter. Not even close when it comes to mail-in ballots. Every one is anonymous and every one is a wild card, and every one is a way for RATs to cheat.

In my state the poll workers have pre-printed lists of voters and they check off your name before and after you vote. How hard is it to put a notification on those lists of people who have requested or returned absentee ballots?

Interesting. Maybe intentional.

Democrat vote fraud? A strongly worded letter

Republican vote fraud? serious jail time, fines, loss of voting rights, the usual things you'd expect to happen

I think I see the crux of the problem, here.
