The organization that newly-elected Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock led for 3 years finds itself facing prosecution for voter registration irregularities.
Warnock served as CEO of The New Voter Project, a group created by former Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams, to boost minority turnout in elections. In 2019, The New Voter Project turned in registration forms to Gwinnett County after the 10-day deadline set by state election rules.
The New Voter Project was previously under investigation for seeking to “aggressively” register “ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters” before the state’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections. This latest potential prosecution is only the latest in a series of legal issues for the group.
