Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger attempted to clear up ongoing concerns about election irregularities related to the 2020 election during a town hall call Tuesday for residents of Northwest Georgia.
There were widespread claims of election fraud following the 2020 presidential election and suggestions the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, but during the 30-minute call, Raffensperger said investigations into the matter have proven those claims to be false.
Raffensperger said investigators looked into every tip that was sent in, whether they were allegations that deceased people had voted or claims that residents who were not yet 18 cast ballots. After an audit and two recounts – including one 100% hand recount – they found only four instances in which someone voted in the place of a deceased person, and no one under 18 was found to have cast a ballot.
The four individuals who cast ballots for dead people will be brought before the state elections board and prosecuted, he said.
