Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sought to dispel whispers in conservative circles that he is slow-walking the probe he announced in January, explaining to Just the News that the only delays are related to administrative changes on the State Elections Board.
"We think that's a serious violation of state law. The only person that should touch your ballot ever is you, the voter, or the election official when they receive your absentee ballot."So we're going to do a thorough investigation, but we need to get a subpoena for the fella who this John Doe is.
The group said in the complaint, obtained by Just the News, that it had assembled evidence that scores of activists worked with nonprofit groups to collect and deliver thousands of absentee ballots, often during wee-hour operations, to temporary voting drop boxes distributed around the state during the pandemic.
Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called "harvesting" that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success.
Raffensperger's comments came the same day a former Supreme Court Justice in Wisconsin reported to the state legislature his investigation of the 2020 election found widespread evidence of irregularities, including third parties casting absentee ballots on behalf of disabled nursing home residents unable to make voting decisions on their own.
While none voted, the secretary said the efforts show why Georgia needs to amend its Constitution to outlaw noncitizen voting rather than leave it simply banned by a state law that could be changed one day.
" For the second time in 2022, Raffensperger also addressed the conversation he had in late 2020 with Donald Trump in which the president asked him to investigate what turned out to be unproven allegations of voter fraud in the state.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
