ATLANTA, Ga. (WALB) - On Wednesday, Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and the State Election Board sent another batch of alleged voting violations to prosecutors after hearing what investigators discovered.
“We will continue to root out voting fraud and make sure anyone guilty of it faces prosecution,” Raffensperger said on Thursday. “Fortunately, these individual cases aren’t large enough to change the outcome of a statewide election.
