Georgia Sends Letters to Thousands of Out-of-State Voters Who Asked for Mail Ballots
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent letters to approximately 8,000 people who live outside the state but requested mail-in ballots, he announced Monday.
“Qualified Georgians and only Georgians are allowed to vote in our elections,” the Republican said in a statement.
“I have said many times that I will not tolerate out of state voters attempting to undermine the integrity of the vote in Georgia. Let this be a warning to anyone looking to come to Georgia temporarily to cast a ballot in the runoffs or anyone who has established residence in another state but thinks they can game the system: we will find you and we will prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law.”
