A prominent Georgia state Republican, who has repeatedly claimed the 2020 election was stolen, was found to have voted illegally nine times.
Brian Pritchard, the first vice chairman of the state Republican Party, violated state election laws when he voted illegally in nine elections from 2008 to 2010, a Georgia judge ruled Wednesday. At the time he cast those votes, Pritchard was still on probation after being convicted of a forgery felony in Pennsylvania in 1996.
Georgia is one of 15 states that bars people from voting until they have completed their sentence, including probation. Judge Lisa Boggs ordered Pritchard to pay a $5,000 fine for his illegal votes. He will also receive a public reprimand.
A $5000 fine?
Meanwhile there’s the article about the black woman who got 5 years in prison for a provisional ballot when she didn’t know she couldn’t vote after a felony.
It blows my mind how systemically racist the US is.
Worse than that, she asked and was told by an election official it was ok to vote. Then was arrested and imprisoned.
I believe she was recently released thankfully but damage done.
shes been out on bond most of this time, but the trial did recently end after they found she did not have any intentional or malicious intent in her mistake of voting.
Moral of the story: be white, male, and obedient.
I’m not sure how he was being obedient. He knew he was on felony probation and voted illegally anyway.
He was obedient to the party
its not who you know who you blow.
Really it’s just “Be White”.
*rich
be a white conservative*
Yeah you definitely lose buffer if you’re white male and on the left side of the political spectrum.
The holy trinity is white male (good Christian) conservative.
if you are a white christian male, why you even get slaps on the wrists for things as horrific as long term, habitual child molestation and rape.
Skill issue
Yeah, well this guy was white after all and even though he did this with malicious intent, the racist judge and justice system knew deep down he didn’t really, really mean to undermine democracy.
Don’t you know there is no systemic racism because the laws don’t state in their text that they apply to minorities more harshly than white people?
