The 1,000 residents of Georgia who were caught double-voting may face prosecution.
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger announced on Tuesday that his office and local prosecutions would investigate and, if appropriate, bring charges against those who voted twice during the primary election in June. Those who were caught double-voting had cast their votes with an absentee ballot and then voted in-person on the day of the election.
"A double voter knows exactly what they’re doing, diluting the votes of each and every voter that follows the law,” Raffensperger told reporters during a press conference. “Those that make the choice to game the system are breaking the law. And as secretary of state, I will not tolerate it.”
Raffensperger, a Republican, noted that there were not enough double votes cast to sway any of the state elections. If voters are found guilty of double-voting, a felony in the state, they face a fine of up to $100,000 and 10 years in prison.
Isn't that exactly what Trump told people to do?
No. That's not what Trump told people to do.
He told them to vote by mail and then go to the polls to see if their vote by mail ballot had been received. If it wasn't, then vote in person.
There is no indication in the article that those people were doing what Trump told them to do.
oh but it is...and Barr couldn't even admit it was illegal.
One thousand Georgia residents caught double-voting in primary may face charges
No wonder democrats are fighting so hard to vote by mail. Meanwhile, they're already laying the groundwork to contest the election - Kamala Harris Says That Joe Biden Could Lose Election Due To Russian Interference
What a dishonest party.

Where does it indicate that these were all democrat voters?
There's no indication as to who anyone was, or if they actually voted twice, or if their ballots were actually counted twice. But I suppose that blows Trump's "Vote by mail, then by person" theory out of the water.
**** this, I am moving... Georgia cannot help but stay in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Well since they caught them then yes it doesn't work.Wait - didn't Democrats assure everyone that this was "clerically impossible?"

He said if they let you cast a vote then they hadn't tabulated it yet so it was okay.
So you don't know if these folks heard the same **** trump was repeating, went to the polls, their ballots weren't counted/received yet, so they voted again.

Well I think this was the Primary in June, I think Trump made his comments much later than that. So they weren't doing what Trump told them to do. It's just that this thread started off with "blah blah Democrats want", but this is pretty much what Trump had told people to do.

It was supposed to be impossible, not simply traceable.Well since they caught them then yes it doesn't work.
What I heard was "about 1000" instances of "potential double voting" - so we really don't know as of yet.What I found is that they caught exactly 1000 people, not 999 or 1001, did they get tired and just stopped at 1000 or do they only do whole numbers? Seems very strange that exactly 1000 Republicans would try and vote twice.
Trump's comments were in reference to NC, where it has been claimed that it is impossible to vote on Election Day if you've already mailed in a ballot:This would be the "clerical" catching it.
The flaw in trumps brilliant plan is it doesn't take into account delays in mail and counting of mail in ballots.
it is clerically impossible for a person to vote twice because North Carolina launched a means of tracking a voter’s ballot from the moment it is requested to when it is received by the local Board of Elections. Therefore, the way the system is set up, if a voter mailed in his or her ballot, they would be recorded as having voted and would not be allowed to cast a ballot on election day.
