"Voter fraud almost never happens," is something Democrats love to say.
Unfortunately it's a lie.
It has been reported that as many as 1,000 residents of Georgia decided to vote twice in the state's June 9 primary, according to Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The crime is considered a felony, according to the Daily Wire.
“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.” The Daily Wire noted that double voting is punishable by one to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.
Raffensperger said that the voters in question sent in absentee ballots and also voted in person. In the post-primary examination, the double votes were discovered.
Upwards of 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,” according to the AJC.
“Of those, 1,000 of those voters had returned their absentee ballots to county election offices, and poll workers also allowed them to vote in-person.”
