Authorities in Georgia are investigating U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and his New Georgia Project, a voter registration outfit, for filing illegal registrations.
And Warnock, who defeated Republican Kelly Loeffler in January’s runoff election, might face prosecution, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reported.
The trouble for Warnock is this: He was chairman of the group when more than 1,200 registrations from the group showed up late to state election officials in 2019.
Investigating the case is GOP Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. He is playing a side role in the hoked-up impeachment case against President Trump, who told Raffensperger during a phone call on January 2 to investigate voter fraud.
As for Warnock, a church “pastor,” the latest trouble with the law isn’t his first. His estranged wife says he abused her, and a man who attended his camp for kids years ago settled a lawsuit with the camp after allegations of abuse.
Wednesday Vote
The bad news for Warnock and the New Georgia Project came on Wednesday. The Peach State’s election board, the Journal-Constitution reported, voted to probe “an allegation that the organization was slow to deliver over 1,200 voter registration applications to election officials in 2019.”
The attorney general’s office has the case for “for further investigation and potential prosecution,” the newspaper reported:
Representatives of the New Georgia Project hand-delivered 1,268 voter registration applications to the Gwinnett County elections office beyond the time allowed, according to an investigator for Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.
The State Election Board submitted the case on a 3-0 vote, with the board’s lone Democrat, David Worley, recusing himself. Raffensperger is the chairman of the board but usually doesn’t vote except to break ties.
The case involving Warnock, chairman from 2017 through January, isn’t the first accusation of registration fraud against the New Georgia Project.
“In a prior case alleging contractors for the New Georgia Project forged signatures and submitted incomplete forms, the attorney general’s office hasn’t brought charges in the 3½ years since it was referred by the State Election Board,” Journal-Constitution reported
That case is still open. Raffensperger also says the project sent voter-registration applications to people in New York City.
New Georgia Project CEO Nse Ufot wants state officials to believe the organization “didn’t mail voter registration applications to New York,” the newspaper reported. “Instead, it sent postcards to volunteers who could then mail them to potential Georgia voters with information about how to register online.”
Right.
In November, the Journal-Constitution reported that Raffensperger was probing more than 250 instances of voter fraud, including “possible instances of dead people voting, double voting and out-of-state voting.”
Failed Democrat gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams founded the project.
Warnock’s Past
The project’s voter shenanigans aren’t Warnock’s first brush with law enforcement.
As The New American reported in December, Warnock’s former wife accused him of driving over her foot while she stood next to his car.
The leftist media ignored that explosive story. They also ignored the account of a man who attended Warnock’s summer camp in 2002, only to be abused by counsellors. The counsellors, the former camper said, doused him with urine and forced him to sleep outside at night.
A state agency gave the camp a negative review after an inspection.
Warnock is also something of a racial agitator. He thinks whites must apologize for being white.
“If it is true that a man who has dominated the news and poisoned the discussion for months needs to repent,” he said, “then it’s doubly true that a nation that can produce such a man and make his vitriol go viral needs to repent.”
Continued Warnock, senior pastor at Martin Luther King’s Ebenezer Baptist Church:
No matter what happens next month, more than a third of the nation that would go along with this, is reason to be afraid. America needs to repent for its worship of whiteness, on full display this season.
