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.
He should be put back on probation, even super-light-barely-means-anything probation. Just to kill his voting power for a few years, to make up for the years he was irresponsible.
Back to prison for violating terms of probation please
I would say he has used his next nine votes prematurely, so not being able to vote the upcoming nine elections only seems fair.
