Some Georgia district attorneys are concerned they haven’t received sufficient evidence to investigate noncitizen voting cases referred to them by the secretary of state’s office, even though the issue is a centerpiece of Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s re-election campaign.
The announcement of the effort to prosecute noncitizens attempting to register to vote first came from Raffensperger’s office in mid-April.
According to the office, 1,634 cases of noncitizens attempting to register to vote were discovered when officials completed the first citizenship audit of the voter rolls in the state’s history at the beginning of April, a release from the secretary of state’s office stated at the time.
The audit found that none of those noncitizens were allowed to cast a ballot in Georgia.
