17 Double Voting Cases Sent To GA DAs For Possible Indictments: SOS

GEORGIA — A handful of residents in multiple Georgia counties are accused of double voting in the 2022 general election, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said Tuesday.

Raffensperger announced 17 cases of suspected double voting have been sent to local district attorneys for possible indictments. The residents are accused of voting once in Georgia and in another state.

“One illegal vote cast is too many,” Raffensperger said in a news release. “Georgians deserve to have their voice heard fully, not have it diluted by bad actors.”

Records show double voting occurred from residents in Barrow, Chatham, Cobb, Douglas, Fannin, Forsyth, Fulton, Morgan and Tift counties, he said.

Raffensperger noted the suspected double voting was revealed by way of Georgia’s membership in the Electronic Registration Information Center.

"This network of 24 states and the District of Columbia shares interstate data to improve the quality of election administration by promoting accurate voter rolls and identifying illegal voting. ERIC is the best large-scale tool available to identify illegal voting across states," read the release.
