A prominent Georgia state Republican, who has repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was stolen, was found to have voted illegally nine times.
Brian Pritchard, the first vice chairman of the state Republican Party, violated state election laws when he voted illegally in nine elections from 2008 to 2010, a Georgia judge ruled Wednesday. At the time he cast those votes, Pritchard was still on probation after being convicted of a forgery felony in Pennsylvania in 1996.
Georgia is one of 15 states that bars people from voting until they have completed their sentence, including probation. Judge Lisa Boggs ordered Pritchard to pay a $5,000 fine for his illegal votes. He will also receive a public reprimand.

A $5000 fine?
Meanwhile there’s the article about the black woman who got 5 years in prison for a provisional ballot when she didn’t know she couldn’t vote after a felony.
It blows my mind how systemically racist the US is.
Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.
I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.
shes been out on bond most of this time, but the trial did recently end after they found she did not have any intentional or malicious intent in her mistake of voting.
Moral of the story: be white, male, and obedient.
I’m not sure how he was being obedient. He knew he was on felony probation and voted illegally anyway.
He was obedient to the party
its not who you know who you blow.
It’s not who you know or who you blow but HOW you blow who you know
this ^ guy knows blows.
LMFAO 🤣
Really it’s just “Be White”.
*rich
be a white conservative*
Yeah you definitely lose buffer if you’re white male and on the left side of the political spectrum.
The holy trinity is white male (good Christian) conservative.
if you are a white christian male, why you even get slaps on the wrists for things as horrific as long term, habitual child molestation and rape.
Skill issue
Yeah, well this guy was white after all and even though he did this with malicious intent, the racist judge and justice system knew deep down he didn’t really, really mean to undermine democracy.
Don’t you know there is no systemic racism because the laws don’t state in their text that they apply to minorities more harshly than white people?
/s
Oh that’s such a delicious irony… Also, letting a guy who was convicted of felony forgery become vice president of the republican party is so fitting for the party of election frauds.
With that said, I do think that prisoners should be allowed to vote as they are still citizens, even while in prison, let alone during their probation.
Not finally, lots of Republicans were caught voting fraudulently in the last couple years.
Pretty sure they’re the only ones as well.
But the headline downplays the problem.
Gaslight, Obstruct, PROJECT
It’s always a confession. The number of actual trans and pedo Republicans must be off the charts.
I think it’s really hard for them to imagine other people are not doing the thing they’re doing. Especially in this case. Apparently it’s easy to vote 9 times, and “if I’m doing it, then it would be stupid if Dems didn’t”.
So yeah, it’s always projection, because they just can’t imagine a world where others choose the morally right option.
“they must have cheated, after all, we cheated at every opportunity and still lost.” - Republicans
“You don’t understand, I had to do it to compensate for all the cheating happening on the other side!”
You must have cheated because I did and still didn’t win. So you did not play better, you cheated better.
“If I’m doing all this cheating, then imagine what the democrats are doing!”
He should be put back on probation, even super-light-barely-means-anything probation. Just to kill his voting power for a few years, to make up for the years he was irresponsible.
Back to prison for violating terms of probation please
I would say he has used his next nine votes prematurely, so not being able to vote the upcoming nine elections only seems fair.
It’s wild, because if they’d have found one democrat who did the same, the entire conservative sphere would be braying for them to be drawn and quartered.
Every accusation is a confession
Every accusation is a confession, as per standard procedure.
Of course they think the election was stolen, they tried like mad to steal it and failed so it’s obvious that someone stole harder than them.
This. They assume everyone is just as mentally, morally, financially, and politically corrupt as them. They think it’s a badge of honor to be open about their evils because everyone else is just in denial.
