The Washington Post: A Georgia Republican official who pushed false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” was found to have voted illegally nine times, a judge ruled this week.

A Georgia Republican official who pushed false claims that the 2020 election was “stolen” was found to have voted illegally nine times, a judge ruled this week.

GOP official who claimed 2020 was stolen voted illegally nine times, judge ruleswww.washingtonpost.com Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine, as well as investigative costs and be publicly reprimanded.

He got a fine for voting 9 times, but the Texas lady got 5 years for attempting to vote? I wonder what the difference is?

We need pictures to see the difference, and a list of influential friends.

Why isn't this dude being charged with felonies like all the people the Florida election police found?

He's white, Republicans, and probably someone's useful tool

It's depressingly banana republic shit when brown people casting illegal votes are given the felony offender treatment and white people are "sorry you got caught in a paperwork problem."

This guy got voted illegally 9 times and was sentenced to: a fine and a public slap in the hand. At the same time Pamela Moses gets 6 years for voting without her knowing once. Yep, two tiered system.

File under Accusation/Confession

Accusation = confession

The only large scale voter fraud in recent history, if you consider large scale several hundred votes, was a Republican race in North Carolina. www.axios.com/2019/02/21/n...

North Carolina board calls for new election in disputed House racewww.axios.com

Listen to the recent This American Life podcast - that dude was recently elected after claiming that vote was stolen!!!!

Not elected, but nominated by the Republican Party to run again in November.

Right. But apparently a very safe GOP seat.

Somehow they make those strongly majority black parts of the state safe red seats. 🤷‍♂️

Republican, you say?

That man heard 'vote early vote often' and was like 'Don't mind if I do'!

We always blame others for what we do

So, while he was criminally trying to overturn the results of a legal election, he actively sought to commit voter fraud and his penalty is...a fine and a handslap? I mean, if I don't show up for a traffic ticket, I can be jailed, and this traitor gets...a fine?

Every. Damn. Time.

Can someone look at every person convicted of willful voter fraud in the last 5 years and see how it tilts conservative vs liberal? The fuckers whining about voter fraud & making it impossible for some people to vote are all conservatives & all fraud I hear about is committed by conservatives.

So quintessential Repug

So the laws are very different in Texas vs. Georgia? What are the penalties/sentencing guidelines in different states? Surely its not just Texas.

Well no wonder he felt it was stolen. JFC these people

This ex-felon official deserves the sanction, a fine & reprimand, for voting while ineligible in what plausibly could be a mistake. But contrast this punishment with black ex-felons in FL getting long jail time for the same error. (As for the GA GOP employing ex-felon election deniers, well...)

That doesn't seem like commensurate punishment

Illegally voted 9 times, and only had to pay a $5,000 fine?

GOP projection should be studied in law school
