Warnock Under Investigation for Role in Stacey Abrams’ Voter Registration Org

Senator Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.) is under investigation for his involvement in the New Georgia Project, a voter registration organization founded by Stacey Abrams, which officials say failed to follow state election deadlines in 2019.

The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-0 Wednesday to launch an investigation into Warnock’s time as chairman of the board for the New Georgia Project in 2019, when officials say the group violated state election rules that require voting registration organizations to submit completed voter application within ten days after they are received from the voter.

Officials say the New Georgia Project submitted 1,268 applications to the Gwinnett County elections office after the ten-day deadline in 2019.

Seems like a minor transgression even if true.

In Texas, we have 5 days.

The problem is: Those applications won't be processed.
If you do this in Texas, you will lose your DVR status and have possible misdemeanor charges

This crazy 5 day deadline is why I don't do on the spot registrations. You have to drive downtown, which is a big pain.

Stacey Abrams' group is getting pretty powerful in the state. I think this will go away.
