168,000 Georgians Moved Right Before The Midterms. How Many Will Vote Illegally This Time?

Evidence gathered since 2020 indicates more than 12,000 Georgians may have cast illegal ballots in that presidential election. A repeat analysis just completed on voter files shows thousands of residency issues involving Georgia voters, indicating a potential repeat of the illegal voting scenario in this year’s midterm elections, according to an expert on voter data analysis.

While early efforts to bolster election integrity following the 2020 election have proved successful, much work remains. Until that happens, the public will continue to question election results — and rightly so. On Tuesday, voters across America will have a final chance to cast ballots for the 2022 midterm elections. With control of the House and Senate at stake, several battleground states such as Georgia will find themselves in the spotlight again.

Since the 2020 election debacle, the Georgia legislature has made great strides in reforming election procedures, including by prohibiting the private takeover of government election offices with bans on outside funding of elections, such as the Zuckbucks that flooded the zone during the last presidential election. Georgia also “passed much-needed reforms related to voter ID, mail-in voting, and drop boxes, in addition to the Zuckbucks ban.”

But plucking that low-hanging fruit provides no guarantee that the more systemic problems with America’s election system won’t spoil confidence in the midterm election results, and Georgia provides a prime example of the risk.

In 2020, Joe Biden won the Georgia general election by 11,779 votes out of nearly 5 million ballots cast. Following the election, Trump filed suit in a Fulton County state court arguing approximately 35,000 Georgians may have illegally voted in a county in which they did not reside. Trump’s challenge relied on Section 21-2-218 of the Georgia election code, which expressly provides that residents must vote in the county in which they reside unless they had changed their residence within 30 days of the election. Those residency laws exist to prevent people from voting in county, legislative, and even congressional races where the voter does not live.

After the November 2020 election, Mark Davis, the president of Data Productions Inc. and an expert in voter data analytics and residency issues, pulled data from the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address database and cross-referenced that information with records from the Georgia secretary of state’s office. His analysis showed that nearly 35,000 Georgia voters who had moved from one Georgia county to another voted in the 2020 general election in the county from which they had moved.

While some of those moves could have been temporary, involving students or members of the military, Davis continued to pull data from the secretary of state’s office, which as of last week showed that of those 35,000 voters, more than 12,400 proceeded to update their driver’s license or voter registration information to the exact same address they had previously provided to the USPS on the change-of-address forms. By updating their addresses, these individuals confirmed to the state that their move represented a permanent change of
