Georgia voter roll audit finds only 20 noncitizens out of 8 million registered voters

(ATLANTA) — A comprehensive audit of Georgia’s voter rolls found that just 20 noncitizens were registered to vote on a registration list of over 8 million, according to an announcement Wednesday from Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger.

All 20 of those registrations have been canceled and referred to the authorities for investigation and potential prosecution, Raffensperger said.

This works out to 0.00025%. Obviously not enough to swing any election, even in the tiniest district (these 20 are from 7 different counties), and even these 20 might not be real. They were found by comparing voting rolls with people who filled out a form saying they were not citizens so they could get out of jury duty.

But on the other hand, there are 156 cases which have been forwarded for “human investigation”, with no further details on how those were found or even what that means.

Anyway, yeah, shocking numbers, MASSIVE numbers of illegals pouring over the borders aided by Democrats just so they can vote. Another obviously terrible Democrat program, not working at all, apparently.

Good. You don't know if you don't look and when you do look and find things so clean, that is a confidence booster in the process. These results are these reason to check every year, not a reason to dispense with checking at all.

They are continually checking. I was surprised at how well they do - and they continually refine processes.

Only in the minds of the deranged (Trump & MAGA, but I repeat myself) does anyone think there has been “no checking at all”, or that anyone has ever proposed “not checking at all”.

This goes on in every state, in every county, in every precinct for every election.

But apparently this is too difficult to understand when Great Orange Leader proclaims otherwise. Honestly, it’s like the Wizard of Oz, who must never be questioned.

-----------------

It is not binary, "checking vs not checking". There is a broad range of data and process elements to collecting and counting ballots. Checking one is good but insufficient.

The resistance to providing access to election data in many jurisdictions in 2020 created long lasting suspicions. If checking multiple elements is as universal and consistent as it should be and as you claim, then those possessing that data should be eager to show it. That's all.

It shouldn't have. Access to this sort of data varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction (as indicated in the below list), but every jurisdiction allows the political parties that run candidates in statewide elections to have access to these lists. Most jurisdictions allow anyone to see the lists, but it's true that some of them have limits on access - but every jurisdiction allows at least the parties to have them:

https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/acces...

That's the institutional protection against the election shenanigans that conspiracists imagine are happening all around. Because your political opponent has access to all the data, it's impossible to cheat on something as important as, say, Presidential elections. Because they'll check, and you'll get caught. So most people who understand anything about how these processes work understood that there's no opportunity for Democrats to cheat this way without getting caught, because the GOP gets to look at everything.

But that broke down, because you had the de facto head of the GOP saying that the Democrats had cheated. Even though, again, his lawyers were never able to go into court and present to a judge any evidence that they had cheated - and because of the access laws discussed above, Trump's lawyers would have been allowed to access all this stuff. And then you had a bunch of third parties complaining that they weren't allowed to access some of this material, even though - again - the GOP was able to get it. So they went out and created this myth that there was resistance to providing access generally, when it was just resistance to providing access to people and organizations that didn't field candidates in that election.
