Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says his office is investigating new allegations of ballot harvesting and the registration of non-citizens to vote in the 2020 election.
Raffensperger says his office did a citizenship audit of Georgia’s voter rolls and found more than 1,600 noncitizens who tried registering to vote.
“[W]hat I found is we had 1,634 that were never put on the voter rolls, they were in the pending status, because they couldn’t prove their citizenship,” Raffensperger told the John Solomon Reports podcast.
Raffensperger says his office sent the information they found to the state attorney general and local district attorneys. An investigation will determine whether those non-citizens acted of their own free will or were directed by a third-party organization.
“[W]hen Stacey Abrams ran for governor four years ago, she talked about the blue wave,” Raffensperger noted, “and she said, ‘That’s the people who are documented and undocumented,’ i.e., that means the noncitizens … she wanted them to be able to vote in our elections, and absolutely not. I’ve been pushing back on that. I think that’s an incredibly critical issue, not just for us here in Georgia, but for the entire country. Only American citizens should vote.”
In addition, Raffensperger says his office has issued multiple subpoenas to learn whether new accusations of so-called ballot harvesting during the 2020 election are true. His office is specifically looking into possible background organizational support, who might have paid the harvesters, and how much.
“… We’re gonna get to the bottom of it, and we’re gonna prosecute,” Raffensperger said.
