ATLANTA — A judge ruled Wednesday that the Georgia Republican Party’s first vice chairman, Brian K. Pritchard, violated state election laws when he voted nine times while serving probation for a felony check forgery sentence.



Pritchard, a conservative talk show host, must pay a $5,000 fine and receive a public reprimand from the State Election Board, according to the decision by Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs.


Pritchard has previously alleged the 2020 presidential election was fraudulent on his show, but now he has been found to have voted illegally. 
Recounts, court cases and investigations over the last three and a half years have consistently debunked fraud claims and upheld the 2020 election results.

Prichard has said he didn’t do anything wrong and thought he had completed his probation before voting in Georgia. But that didn’t convince the judge in the case.


“The court does not find the respondent’s explanations credible or convincing,” Boggs wrote in her 25-page decision. “At the very least, even if the court accepts he did not know about his felony sentences, the record before this court demonstrates that he should have known.”


Pritchard declined to comment on the judge’s ruling.


Pritchard testified in February that he believed his felony sentence ended in 1999, but attorneys for the state showed evidence that his probation had been repeatedly revoked and extended until 2011. Georgia law prohibits felons from voting until they’ve completed their sentences.


Pritchard registered to vote in Georgia in 2008 and cast ballots in nine elections before his probation was over, according to election records presented in court.


“I felt it ended,” Pritchard said after the court hearing. “Do you think the first time I voted I said, ‘Oh, I got away with it. Let’s do it eight more times?’”

Pritchard pleaded guilty in 1996 to forgery and theft charges involving $38,000 worth of checks that he deposited while working on a construction job, according to court records from Alleghany County, Pennsylvania.


Pritchard acknowledged that he endorsed and deposited a check made out with someone else’s name but said he didn’t profit and the construction companies involved were repaid.


His probation initially lasted three years, but Pennsylvania judges repeatedly extended it until 2011 for allegedly failing to pay restitution, court records showed. Pritchard maintained that he didn’t owe money and he thought that case was resolved.


Attorneys for the state said in court that Pritchard knew he was still serving his sentence because records show he appeared in Pennsylvania court for probation revocation hearings in 1999, 2002 and 2004. Pritchard denied that he was present in court in 2002 or 2004.


“When he came to Georgia, he was aware that he was registering to vote illegally. He knew when he went in all nine times and signed that voter certificate, he was voting illegally,” said Senior Assistant Attorney General Russell Willard during closing arguments in February.


The judge fined Pritchard $500 for each of the nine times he voted illegally, plus another $500 for his illegal voter registration. Pritchard can appeal the decision.


Before becoming a Republican Party official, Pritchard ran unsuccessfully last year for the state House seat that Speaker David Ralston held before he died in 2022.

Every thing Republicans try to accuse Democrats of always seems to backfire on them. It says something too that the Vice Chair of the state party was a convicted felon. Always promoting their best

It's the same on both sides. When one raises a stink about the other side, someone always gets busted. Pretty sad really.

You posted about this guy accusing the left of voter fraud while voting 9 times to take attention off of the fact that you illegally voted 10 times.

Jared Polis one of the biggest screamers about Trump not sharing his tax info, "He might have something to hide" then turned around and wouldn't share his either when he ran for Office in CO. 
Then once someone got ahold of them, found out he used every loophole as well and paid very little in income taxes as well for several years.

What conclusion is to derive from that though? Imho it makes both fellas guilty of hiding things, they do not mutually excuse each other.

Also, I'd assume most people that were in favor of Trump sharing his tax info as was usual (and promised) had nothing to hide. Me, for example.

What? 
I made a statement and backed it up.

That's all that was. An instance where someone was complaining about the "other side" while busy doing the same.

Don't deflect or try to argue about it. That's not the point.

And what would I want to deflect away from? You introduced your thesis of both sides always being the same and how every other opinion is biased, and chose one example to prove it. Imho it wasn't a particularly good one, that was my point. A lot of people took issue with Trump not showing his tax returns. Only a chosen few, possibly just one guy, later deployed the same behaviour as Trump. Most critics, including Trump's successor, did not.

Case in point, here it's a Republican who voted illegally and Dino rose a stink about it. And rightfully so. Now if tomorrow a Democrat were found out to have done the same thing, it would still be a rightfully rosen stink. That's what you seem to deflect away from. And also of course there is no law of nature that a Democrat somewhere definitely is guilty of the same thing in this specific case. As of now, it's just this republican guy.

Gloria Lopez Torres, a San Luis City Councilwoman, was charged by the state with felony counts of conspiracy and ballot abuse after trafficking absentee ballots during the August 2020 primary election as part of a larger ballot harvesting scheme. Torres picked up 7 ballots from Nadia Lizarraga-Mayorquin (who was also charged and convicted) and put them into a drop box in 2020. Arizona law only permits family members and close relatives to do this. Torres pleaded guilty to one count of ballot abuse and was sentenced to 24 months of probation and fined $2,500. She may not run or be appointed to public office again, but she was allowed to finish her current term ending in December 2024.


Nadia Lizarraga-Mayorquin (aka Nadia Buchanan) of San Luis was charged by the state with felony counts of conspiracy and ballot abuse after trafficking absentee ballots during the August 2020 Primary election as part of a larger ballot harvesting scheme. Arizona law only permits family members and close relatives to do this. Lizarraga-Mayorquin trafficked at least 7 ballots to Gloria Lopez and at least one ballot herself from a third party. She pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count of ballot abuse and was sentenced to 24 months of probation and fined $2,500.



The results of the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Democratic mayoral primary election, which was held on September 12, 2023, were overturned due to absentee ballot fraud in an election where only 251 votes separated the winner (Joseph Ganim) and the loser (John Gomes). Superior Court Judge William Clark ordered that a new primary election between Ganim (the party-endorsed candidate) and Gomes (the challenger) should be held because an unusually large number of absentee ballots that were counted had been illegally placed in drop boxes by two unauthorized ballot distributors who were Ganim supporters: Wanda Geter-Pataky (a Democratic Town Committee member and the Leader of Voting District 136) and Eneida Martinez (a candidate for City Council). The court determined that videos of Geter-Pataky and Martinez illegally dropping off stacks of votes into various drop boxes “provided evidence of ballot harvesting, in violation of state law.” Geter-Pataky made 10 drops either directly or indirectly, and Martinez made 5 separate drops of multiple ballots. The court also found “the volume of ballots mishandled is such it calls the result of the primary election in serious doubt and unable to determine the legitimate result of the primary.”

Hart was sentenced to 24 months of probation, 100 hours of community service, and assessed $701 in court costs.



Eugene Florence, a fifteen-time convicted felon, was charged by the state with two felony counts of submitting fraudulent voter registrations in Lee County in and around November 2021. Florence, working for a third-party voter registration organization named Hard Knocks Strategies LLC, knowingly submitted fraudulent voter registration forms with forged signatures for individuals who had not requested the forms and did not know or authorize Florence to fill them out. Although charged with only two fraudulent submissions, an affidavit alleged that 29 fraudulent registrations had been submitted by Florence and five others in Lee County and another 29 suspicious registrations were submitted by employees of the same company in Charlotte County. The organization was fined $46,600 for violations of third-party voter registration laws, including submitting registrations after the deadline, to the wrong county, and from residents of another state. Florence pleaded no contest to the two felony charges, was sentenced to 16 months in prison (to be served concurrently with another sentence he is serving for burglary), and assessed $1,498 in fines and court costs.



Luis Villaran was charged by the state in Palm Beach County for false affirmation in connection with an election and voting as an unqualified elector. Villaran voted in the 2020 election despite being ineligible since he was a felon and registered sex offender.

Christopher Coyle, the former Clark County Clerk Democratic candidate and former chairman of the Clark County Democratic Party, was charged by the state with 3 felony counts of filing a fraudulent report, voting outside precinct, and address change violation, after falsely claiming his residency in Clark County and voting during the 2022 election. He filed a false report with the Clark County Clerk's Office claiming he lived in Memphis despite having sold his home and not updated his driver's license or voter registration to reflect the fact that he was now living in Louisville, Kentucky. He then voted in person in Sellersburg on Election Day. He admitted the conduct and entered into a diversion agreement. The charges were dropped upon completion of the program.



Kathy Funk, a Democrat Flint Township clerk and Flint County election supervisor, was charged by the state with one count of ballot tampering and one count of misconduct in office, both felonies, in the August 2020 primary in which she was on the ballot and won her election by 79 votes. Funk claimed someone broke into a room at the Flint Township Hall.  However, her lawyer stipulated that she broke the seal on a secure ballot canister, which invalidated the ballots so they could not be counted, and no one else was charged with breaking and entering the Hall.  Funk pleaded no contest to one count of misconduct in office in exchange for not receiving prison time and having the ballot tampering charge dismissed.  She is awaiting sentencing. Her employment with the county was terminated in December 2022.



Take your pick. These are all people that have been convicted or awaiting sentencing for Vote Fraud. There's plenty more to chose from and they come from both sides of the aisle. 
Happy now or is there going to be some other dumbass condition that i have to meet in order to satisfy you? I even included an R in there, so as to try not to appear as discriminating. There's just not that many R's that commit it.

Take your pick. These are all people that have been convicted or awaiting sentencing for Vote Fraud. There's plenty more to chose from and they come from both sides of the aisle. 
Happy now or is there going to be some other dumbass condition that i have to meet in order to satisfy you? I even included an R in there, so as to try not to appear as discriminating. There's just not that many R's that commit it.

That's better.  See?  You can make a case with example instead of just yelling "BOTH SIDES!!" every time a republican does something.

We'll work on providing links and showing your work later.

Now to the point...I never, ever said no Democrat has ever been charged with voting illegally.  Ever.

Meanwhile the gop insists that Democrats are stealing elections with organized voter fraud while their own party is just as guilty of it.

Trump insists that "massive" voter fraud stole the election from him.  That has been proven false over and over.

Sorry that story triggered you so much.

It's not the story so much that triggered me, it's the constant double standards that's on display in some other threads.

I was making the point that people complaining the loudest are oftentimes doing the exact same thing they are screaming about.  
So my point was never strictly about voter fraud to begin with. Not sure why that was so hard to understand.

Weelllll.....when the guy doing the fraud is a party chairman who claimed voter fraud COMMITTED the fraud I think that's bad.  So that's what the thread was about.

If you want to cross the streams and voice other complaints feel free.
