'Voting in Georgia when you're not a resident of Georgia is a felony,' secretary of state says
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.’”

If you assume that we have a semi-competent FBI and NSA, then having Democratic Party and foreign government try to influence a single State’s senate races, should be easy to monitor for fraud.
This could provide the smoking bullet that even CNN might recognize as foreign election fraud and Democratic Party fraud. If that happens, then Biden and the Democratic party will be always known throughout history as those associated with election fraud.
It’s only a felony if you prosecute.
“ Two problems. Registration must be 3 months before election. In a run-off, only voters who voted in the primary can vote in the run-off. So if their names are on the list of registered voters today, THEY CAN’T VOTE in the Senate runoff. ”
This wasn’t a primary. Had it been, you would be correct. I looked in to it. Ga residents can resister until Dec 5 to vote in the senate runoff. You can also vote in the runoff if you did not vote in the general. If they get away with stealing the general, they will surely steal the runoff.
The rules you cited did not come from Ga code statutes, did they? And if a voter voted in the primary, why would they be registering again.
But the voter registration list at the time of the primary is the only pool of potential voters for the runoff that follows the state statutes. Neither the Governor nor the courts have authority to change election law without legislative action. And maybe even a public vote on the change.
