Georgia Dem Senate Candidate Under Investigation

A group led by Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock is under investigation for sending ballot applications to non-residents.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

A voter registration group that was led by Georgia Democratic Senate candidate Raphael Warnock until earlier this year is under investigation for allegedly sending ballot applications to non-residents, the Georgia secretary of state announced on Monday.

The New Georgia Project, where Warnock served as CEO until February, is one of four voter sign-up groups being probed for improper registration activities, Georgia secretary of state Brad Raffensperger said in a press conference.

The announcement comes as Democrats have praised Raffensperger, a Republican, for pushing back against President Donald Trump’s allegations of election fraud in Georgia during the presidential election. Meanwhile, Warnock, who is engaged in a heated race that could determine party control of the Senate, dismissed past investigations of voter fraud against the group as “alarmist.”

While Raffensperger said he has not seen indications of systemic fraud, he said there is evidence of “third-party groups working to register people in other states to vote here in Georgia.”

Raffensperger said the New Georgia Project “sent voter registration applications to New York City,” in a potential violation of state law.

“Voting in Georgia when you are not a resident of Georgia is a felony,” said Raffensperger. “These third-party groups have a responsibility to not encourage illegal voting. If they do so, they will be held responsible.”

Warnock was listed as CEO of the New Georgia Project from 2017 until Feb. 21, 2020, according to the group’s corporate filings. He has been identified as the New Georgia Project’s chairman and spokesman in media reports and has said he organized voter mobilization drives for the group, including a push to register 80,000 new minority voters in 2014. His campaign did not respond to a request for comment about the ongoing investigation.

Walter Jones, a spokesman for the Georgia secretary of state’s office, said he was not aware of Warnock’s connection to the New Georgia Project and declined to provide additional details on the allegations, citing the ongoing investigation.

The New Georgia Project is a “nonpartisan effort to register and civically engage Georgians,” according to its website. The group, which was founded by failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, has registered “nearly 400,000 people from underrepresented communities to vote in Georgia,” its website claims.

Warnock, a pastor at the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, is headed into a runoff election against incumbent senator Kelly Loeffler (R., Ga.) on Jan. 5. The race is one of two in Georgia that will determine party control of the Senate next year.

The New Georgia Project was the subject of a prior voter fraud probe by the secretary of state’s office in 2014, when contractors working for the group were accused of forging voter registration applications. The case was referred to law enforcement in 2017, but charges were never brought.

Supporters of the New Georgia Project criticized the 2014 investigation as an attempt at voter suppression. “Using the word voter fraud is alarmist, and it was totally unnecessary,” said Warnock in 2017, arguing that the lack of charges against the group showed that it has “excellent internal controls and that we have followed the law.”

Raffensperger said on Monday that three other voter registration groups are also under investigation by his office. One of the organizations, America Votes, allegedly sent “absentee ballot applications to people at addresses where they have not lived since 1994,” said Raffensperger.

A group called Vote Forward is accused of registering a dead Alabama voter in Georgia, and another, Operation New Voter Registration Georgia, is accused of encouraging college students to temporarily change their residency for the purpose of voting in the state.

“Voting in Georgia when you are not a resident of Georgia is a felony,” – So wouldn’t this be a indication of systemic fraud?

Arbitrary law enforcement. It is one thing to have a law on the books, and another to enforce it fairly and squarely.

The more money you have though, the more likely you are to get a favorable ruling from a reprobate judge and go free. Or not even be charged with high crimes and misdemeanors. Like Hillary, Obama, Clapper, Comey and (well, you know) ….

It would do a rational and honest person, but that is not the case. Democrats have been engaging in known voter fraud all my life. It’s sort of a joke in America, like one of the perks of being a Democrat. They are lawless.

When you party pulls off the theft of a Presidential election, a Democrat candidate for Senate does not fear any consequences for cheating.
This is what destroys nations. America is quickly sinking into the abyss. At least we have the most aircraft carriers.

Stacey Abrams would have been sent to jail for ballot harvesting during the presidential elections as well as her own gubernatorial campaign. Only the color of her skin is saving her skin as everyone is terrified of hearing the word “racist” should they question her tactics.

I live in North Carolina. This year especially I saw little tables set up in parking lots with a young person who looked barely voting age trying to get people to register to vote on the spot. I don’t recall seeing the name of the sponsor advertised but it smelled like a George Soros funded op. I saw some of this in 2016 also but this year they seemed to be everywhere. The people manning these stations are not volunteers. Someone is paying them. They sure didn’t look like Republicans.

What do REPUBLICANS LOOK LIKE?

For the most part they are white skinned Americans but that is slowly changing. Many black and hispanic males prefer Trump and have understood for a very long time that the Dems only use them for votes. Excluding the arrogant 1 percenters Republican voters tend to be more mature, somewhat older, quite often married, and are frequently Christians. Black churches, for instance, are guaranteed to be promoting Democrats in heir churches. White churches are afraid to do that as the IRS might come after them. Frequently they have a sensible countenance and tend to be more politically knowledgeable than Democrats Democrats are more likely to label themselves “not political”, but they make sure they vote Democrat even though they proudly declare they know nothing about it. In other words, the Republican base is simple better for the most part. Democrats are the “big tent” party. Every Socialist and America hating fruitloop votes Democrat. If you ask someone spending their days out begging for your money instead of doing something worthwhile it will almost certainly be either a Democrat or someone who never votes at all. Republicans tend to vote.

When I say “look like” it doesn’t necessarily mean the physical appearance on the outside. I could care less about race and tend to look at people from the standpoint of who they are inside. It is so normal for me to be looking “in the spirit” instead of physically I didn’t even think to mention it. Sorry. It’s a Christian thing about discernment.

All democrats have an ethics, integrity and character flaw that draws and warrants investigations. It’s just inherent with them so no one should be surprised.

DO NOT TRUST ANY BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH or any Baptist church because of the EXTREMISM they go to, to condemn every little thing.

NOW, if you want people to turn to CHRIST, that is different, but even CHURCHES are ignoring the very commands that Christ told us to do. THERE WILL BE NO BAPTISTS, CATHOLICS, EVANGELICALS IN HEAVEN.

THERE WILL ONLY BE SAVED SOULS FOR CHRIST IN HEAVEN, BUT NO IDENTIFIED CONGREGATIONAL MEMBERS OF ANY CHURCH.

You know this, right?

TODAY, you cannot honestly be a DEMOCRAT and a BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIAN. If you are, knowing all the evil in the Democrat Party, then you may want to question your born-again experience.

I became a Conservative while I was a Democrat and seeing the things I saw in my own party, I immediately felt the Holy Spirit tell me to be part of the INDEPENDENT Party. Now, unless you want to INFILTRATE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY to find out the evil and expose it, you must KNOW that both parties are not what they claim to be. Even the Republican Party is to be questioned, especially when they cannot even support our duly-elected President Trump.

Amen!
I sent this letter to Ebenezer Baptist Church:
I guess I simply do not understand how, a man that professes to be a believer in Jesus Christ, can be a democratic candidate for anything. Add to that, this is a Black pastor. Let’s look at this. Needless to say, I’m not Black, but my ancestors were part of the Underground Railroad, an organization that was born to assist Black people, fleeing slavery. Slavery that was empowered, and enforced by the white Southern Democrats. Even after the Civil War, the Southern Democrats continued to intimidate Black Americans, denying them the right to vote, intimidation through the Klu Klux Klan, made up of Southern Democrats. Re-impowered by Woodrow Wilson, probably the most racist POS ever elected to the Presidency.
Now let’s turn to the Christian aspect. How, can a professing man of God, support a political party that believes that unborn babies are as unimportant as the slaves they owned 160 years ago. Planned Parenthood was started by a racist bitch (Margaret Sanger), that believed that it was her mission to eradicate the “undesirables” in our society. Please research what I have said. That way you can know that this is true.
  I’m not a Republican, but am a conservative Christian. I support Israel. I support the most innocent human lives of all, the unborn. I support the Constitution, as it was written. Research the reason the 3/5th thing was put in. The Southern Democrats wanted all slaves to be counted as a full person, so they could harvest their votes, to further entrench the Southern Democratic hold on slavery.
