According to a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a Georgia conservative talk show host has been accused by the state of voting illegally nine times while he was still serving out a felony conviction for forgery and theft in Pennsylvania.

Brian K. Pritchard, a prominent conservative voice in North Georgia, is currently running for an open seat in the state legislature where he hopes to face the widow of former Speaker David Ralston who died last month.

However, his campaign is now faced by accusations from the Georgia attorney general's office stating Pritchard broke state law each time he voted before his sentence was completed.

According to the report, Pritchard who has used his platform to complain about election fraud, "allegedly voted illegally nine times while serving a felony sentence in a $33,000 forgery and theft case."

Ah, here is why "Local prosecutors haven’t sought criminal charges against Prichard."

vote for him. While he's complaining about election fraud. They will ignore that he is a felon who committed more crimes while serving out his sentence. It's ok if you are a republican.

so it's ok.

Has anyone compiled a list of reich-wing voter fraud? I've been hearing about cases for 10+ years, but they seem to disappear quickly.

She's been gone for 50 years or more, but the same glasses and many of the same facial features.
