Georgia opens investigation into potential illegal ballot harvesting in 2020 election
Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into accusations of illegal ballot harvesting during the 2020 election.
While Georgia’s Secretary of State has been hesitant to investigate or give air to election fraud accusations in the past, Brad Raffensperger is now launching an investigation into claims of illegal ballot harvesting in the 2020 election.
“Georgia authorities have launched an investigation into an allegation of systematic ballot harvesting during the state's 2020 general election and subsequent U.S. Senate runoff and may soon issue subpoenas to secure evidence, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger confirmed,” Just the News reported.
“Georgia law strictly prohibits third-party activists from picking up and delivering ballots on behalf of voters, a tactic called ‘harvesting’ that liberal organizers have tried to get legalized in many battleground states without success,” JTN reported. “The U.S. Supreme Court this summer rejected Democrat efforts to overturn an Arizona law that outlawed harvesting in the battleground state.”
"We do have some information," Raffensperger said. "And we are going to investigate that. We did deploy drop boxes that were under 24/7 surveillance, and because they were then that really, you know, can indicate who dropped that information off, and we're really just going through that."
Tucker Carlson has also previously denounced the practice of ballot harvesting:
Heading into 2022, it’s valuable that Republicans work to strengthen the security and safety of the vote, and cracking down on illegal ballot harvesting will be crucial to that mission.
