Democrat Senator Raphael Warnock Under Investigation For Voter Registration Misconduct
|
 [Conservative Brief] Newly elected Georgia Democrat Sen. Raphael Warnock is reportedly under investigation in his own state over allegations that an organization that he was a part of engaged in voter registration misconduct.
The Georgia State Election Board voted unanimously on Wednesday, 3-0, to move forward with an investigation into the organization, which was founded by left-wing activist Stacey Abrams, over allegations that the organization did not follow deadlines.
"Warnock, a Democrat elected last month to the U.S. Senate, is named as a respondent in the case because he was listed as the CEO for the New Georgia Project at the time," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported, later adding that the organization claims that its own documents misidentified Warnock as the CEO when he was board chairman.
"Representatives of the New Georgia Project hand-delivered 1,268 voter registration applications to the Gwinnett County elections office beyond the time allowed," AJC added. "State election rules require voter registration organizations to submit completed applications within 10 days after they were received from the voter."
AJC noted that another case involving the group that Abrams created remains open. The case alleges "contractors for the New Georgia Project forged signatures and submitted incomplete forms."
While some may see the investigation as politically motivated, it’s worth noting that Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger launched an investigation of President Donald Trump’s phone call with Georgia election officials earlier this year in which Trump urged them to "find" additional votes.
Warnock served as CEO of The New Voter Project, a group created by former Democratic candidate Stacy Abrams, to boost minority turnout in elections. In 2019, The New Voter Project turned in registration forms to Gwinnett County after the 10-day deadline set by state election rules.
The New Voter Project was previously under investigation for seeking to "aggressively" register "ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters" before the state’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections. This latest potential prosecution is only the latest in a series of legal issues for the group.
