\n As many as 1,000 Georgians double-voted in the Peach State\u2019s June 9 primary using absentee ballots, a felony that is punishable by up to a decade in prison, state authorities announced Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The revelation comes as President Trump warns of widespread voter fraud ahead of the November election, which he believes could happ<\/a>en through the mass harvesting of mail-in ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said 1,000 voters returned absentee ballots before turning up at the polling booth to vote on election day, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.<\/p>\n

Approximately 150,000 people who requested absentee ballots still showed up at polling booths, either because they never received a paper ballot or changed their mind about voting in person, the report said.<\/p>\n

Another 1.5 million Georgians cast absentee votes.<\/p>\n

There has been no evidence of widespread voter fraud through mail-in voting, even in states with all-mail votes.<\/p>\n

Double-voting didn\u2019t change the outcome of any races in the primary, Raffensperger said, and absentee voting has been rare in Georgia in recent years, an AJC investigation found.<\/p>\n

But that number has exploded due to public health concerns from COVID-19, from 5 percent in previous elections to 50 percent in this year\u2019s primary.<\/p>\n

\u201cA double voter knows exactly what they\u2019re doing, diluting the votes of each and every voter that follows the law,\u201d Raffensperger said during a press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose that make the choice to game<\/a> the system are breaking the law. And as secretary of state, I will not tolerate it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Local prosecutors and the Georgia attorney general<\/a>\u2019s office will decide if they will bring charges against the people who voted twice, with double-voting in Georgia a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine up to $100,000.<\/p>\n

Trump has suggested delaying the election and warned it could be the most inaccurate in history if officials are swamped with an unprecedented number of mail-in ballots.<\/p>\n

In the Empire State\u2019s presidential primary, more than 80,000 absentee ballots were disqualified for arriving late, lacking a postmark, failing to include a voter\u2019s signature or other defects.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
