ATLANTA — An investigation into nearly 20 cases of alleged illegal voting is underway, according to the Georgia Secretary of State's Office on Tuesday.
The individuals listed in the investigation are suspected of "voting once in Georgia as well as casting an additional ballot in the 2022 General Election in another state," the office said. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has referred the 17 cases to district attorneys for evaluation.
“One illegal vote cast is too many,” Raffensperger said. “Georgians deserve to have their voice heard fully, not have it diluted by bad actors.”
The cases of double voting involve records from:
- Barrow County
- Chatham County
- Cobb County
- Douglas County
- Fannin County
- Forsyth County
- Fulton County
- Morgan County
- Tift County
Raffensperger's team got this information through Georgia’s membership in the Electronic Registration Information Center, a network of 24 states and the District of Columbia that share interstate data to improve elections.
The office said indictments would be filed if necessary.
