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.

    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.
