ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia’s Republican Party has removed one of its officers after an administrative law judge found he voted illegally nine times after moving to the state.

The state Republican Committee voted 146-24 on Friday to remove Brian K. Pritchard, its first vice chairman, state Chairman Josh McKoon said after the closed meeting.

Georgia is one of a number of state Republican parties that have experienced turmoil as supporters of Donald Trump have taken over at the grassroots level, ousting previous leaders and demanding that the party prioritize Trump’s false claims of fraud in the 2020 election.

Many established Georgia Republicans including Gov. Brian Kemp have walked away from the state party organization. Kemp, for example, doesn’t plan to appear at the state Republican Convention next week in Columbus.

1. They Scream About Fraud...

And yet, they’re the ones caught doing all the illegal voting.

Every accusation they make is just a confession. Hypocritical bastards.

2. "The investigation found that he had voted without legal authority due to his felony sentence,

........State investigators were asked to investigate Pritchard’s votes in Gilmer County in 2021.

The investigation found that he had voted without legal authority due to his felony sentence, though Pritchard maintained through the investigation that he believed he had served the sentence already.

4. Uh-huh

[live love laugh]

5. I've seen several accounts of Republicans fraudulently voting

It won’t be proven but I think Trump’s numbers in ‘20 were inflated because of this phenomenon.
