Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has referred 1,634 cases of non-citizens attempting to register to vote for investigation and potential prosecution.
Attempting to register to vote while knowingly being ineligible is a violation of Georgia law.
A citizenship audit conducted by Raffensperger over the past few weeks, which he claims was a first for the state, discovered attempts to register to vote by non-citizens in 88 of the state’s 159 counties.

According to an April 11 statement by the secretary of state’s office, 69 percent of the attempts to register were concentrated in just five counties—DeKalb (345), Fulton (275), Gwinnett (221), Cobb (143), and Clayton (141).
Some of them occurred as far back as 1997 and others as recently as February 2022.
Eighty percent or 1,319 of the attempted registrations occurred since 2016, according to the April 11 statement.
The people attempting to register were placed in pending citizenship status and are required to provide proof of citizenship before they can be added to the rolls and cast a ballot.

In his March 28 press release, Raffensperger stated, “As liberal states and cities around the country are changing their laws to allow non-citizen voting, I will continue to take steps to ensure Georgia’s elections are executed with integrity.
“Leading the state’s first citizenship audit of the voter rolls is an important part of that effort.”
