Thousands in Georgia accused of giving phony addresses for residency in vote fraud scheme

 Epoch Times:

Thousands of people registered and voted in Georgia using addresses of postal facilities or businesses, but making it look like they were residential addresses, according to a former Trump campaign official whose team analyzed the states’ voter data.

The addresses listed on the voter rolls included information that didn’t make sense for the actual locations, but on paper made the addresses look like residential ones, according to information published by Matt Braynard, former data and strategy director for President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign.

“Georgia: We have identified over a thousand early/abs votes cast by individuals whose registered addresses are in fact at post offices, UPS, and FedEx locations, wilfully disguising the box numbers as ‘Apt,’ ‘Unit,’ etc.,” he said in a Nov. 22 tweet.

He published a sample of 15 such address entries in a Nov. 24 tweet.

“With just a partial review of the state,” he said, the team also discovered “a thousand votes cast by those registered in non-residential, purely commercial addresses also disguised with ‘Apt,’ etc.”

He added that these were “the residential addresses, not mailing addresses” that the voters have listed.

Nearly all those “who disguised a postal facility as their residential address” used an absentee ballot to vote, he said.

Georgia election law says that “the residence of any person shall be held to be in that place in which such person’s habitation is fixed, without any present intention of removing therefrom.”

Anyone who “knowingly gives false information when registering as an elector” can be charged with a felony and put in prison for up to 10 years or fined up to $100,000, the law says.

...

This looks like an organized vote fraud scheme that should be investigated.  There is no way of knowing how many people were involved in the scheme but someone determined to engage in vote fraud could have registered multiple tomes for absentee ballots.  It is not clear to me whether a photo ID would be required for such ballots in Georgia.

The scam was also used in Pennsylvania.  I think investigations should be made in Michigan and Arizona too.
