Georgia Elections Official Warns Democrats About Moving to Georgia to Vote in Runoff Races
epoch times ^ | 11/17/2020 | jack phillips

Gabriel Sterling, Georgia’s voting system manager, issued a warning to people who have said they are moving to the state to vote in its upcoming Senate runoff elections.

Moving to the state only to vote in the early January elections, he said, would violate Georgia election law.

“In order to be able to register to vote in Georgia, you have to be a Georgia resident,” Sterling said in a press conference last week. “That means you have to believe you are staying in Georgia.”

People who attempt to move to the state and vote while only visiting can face felony charges, including a $10,000 fine and up to 10 years in prison, Sterling said.

It came after prominent liberals and former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang suggested people move to Georgia to vote for either Senate candidate Raphael Warnock or Jon Ossoff to make it a 50–50 Senate. If Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and Joe Biden are declared victorious, Harris would be the tie-breaker in the upper chamber.

The Epoch Times has not called the race for either Biden or President Donald Trump, pending the outcome of legal challenges and the Electoral College’s final decision.

Ossoff is running against Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) and Warnock is up against Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.).

"The Devil went down to Georgia
He was looking for some votes to steal
He was in a bind cause he was way behind
He was willing to make a deal..."

I started it... your turn....

Stupid Rats. They don’t have to move there, they can take a drive and vote. They can vote for dead family and friends. When that fails, they can get boxes of ballots to vote again and again. That’s how Rats run elections.

If burning down a city isn’t a jailable offense, don’t tell me that illegally voting is.

Bring on the bananas, it’s a Republic by God!

I’ll bet on a thousand-plus folks doing it...getting caught, and over the next year, all of them get the full fines, and half of them end up with three to four years of prison time. Pretty stupid to end up in Georgia prison, and some rough character asks you what you did. The only response? You respond that you voted illegally.

The run off is supposed to be an extension of the same election, so voters must have been eligible to vote in the Nov 3rd election in order to participate in the run off. I don’t understand what’s going on here, Georgia’s Secretary of State doesn’t even know the state’s election laws.

And we all know that laws need to be enforced to mean anything.

Nevertheless, that is a good find and will be useful for those inGA who hope to prevent election fraud.

It also exposes the dems yet again, for being the low life, despicable, reprehensible, cheaters and liars we always knew them to be.

I would too if I were a left wing lunatic. I can harass, censor, dox, assault, riot, murder and NOTHING is done to me...ever.

Why would I think election fraud is going to get me in trouble? The entire globalist establishment is on the left's side. Period.
