An expert in election data claims that nearly 35,000 Georgia voters in 2020 cast ballots from the wrong jurisdictions, but Georgia’s top election official has not responded to his request for an investigation. Mark Davis, president of Data Productions Inc., has urged Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office to investigate his data since May 2021. Davis believes the same issues occurred in Georgia’s 2021 and 2022 elections, and he predicts a repeat in 2024.
Georgia, a closely contested state in the 2024 presidential election, saw Joe Biden win over Donald Trump by 11,000 votes in 2020. Davis analyzed voting records using data from the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office and the U.S. Postal Service. His updated numbers as of February show that out of the 34,869 voters who cast ballots in the wrong jurisdiction, 4,696 have now registered at the correct address or updated their driver’s license information.
Voting from the wrong address is a felony under Georgia law, punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $100,000 fine. Georgia law allows voting in a former jurisdiction only if the move occurred within 30 days of the election. Davis emphasized that voting in the wrong county means some voters cast ballots for offices that don’t represent them, potentially impacting local tax increases.
Davis has testified in five disputed election cases and provided research to the Trump campaign in challenging the 2020 election outcome in Georgia. He won a federal court decision in January and has been pushing for an investigation into voter data discrepancies. Raffensperger’s office has disputed Davis’s claims, stating that Georgia conducts thorough list maintenance within the requirements of state and federal law.
