A Florida attorney is the object of a voter fraud investigation by the Georgia Secretary of State's Office.
Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said in a press statement attorney Bill Price was caught on tape telling fellow Republicans he was planning to move to Georgia prior to the January 5 Senate runoff elections so he could cast a ballot. Raffensperger said Price encouraged his fellow Republicans to do the same thing.
"Make no mistake, individuals who attempt to undermine the integrity of Georgia’s elections will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," said Raffensperger in the prepared statement. "Those who move to Georgia just to vote in the Senate runoffs with no intention of staying are committing a felony that is punishable with jailtime and hefty fines. They will be found, they will be investigated, and they will be punished."
During a November 7 speech to the Bay County Florida Republican Party, Price said he was moving to Georgia and moving in with his brother in order to register to vote and cast a ballot in the January 5 Senate runoff elections. He exhorted those in attendance to be “his roommate in Georgia” and also register to vote fraudulently in the state.
According to Channel 2 Action News in Atlanta, Price made his comments in an hour-long Facebook live presentation; the video has since been deleted.
Raffensperger said Price attempted to register to vote fraudulently, but his registration is still in pending status.
Raffensperger has issued warnings in the past about individuals looking to move to Georgia solely to cast ballots in the Senate runoffs. Raffensperger recently announced investigations into third-party organizations soliciting registrations from dead or out-of-state voters. He has also warned that groups that are looking to help others move to Georgia to vote fraudulently could possibly be prosecuted as well.
