I thought we were done with this, but it's clear that some people are determined to revive these false claims. The numbers were random extrapolations that the Trump team tried to use and GA investigators looked into every one of them.
Let's go through each of them one last time.

Claim 1: 2056 Felons Voted in Georgia in 2020.
Reality: GA investigators initially found 74 potential cases. After reviewing, they found 4 were actual cases where felons voted and charges were filed accordingly.

Claim 2: 66,248 people under 18 voted in GA in 2020.
Reality: 0 people under 18 voted in GA in 2020. There were 4 cases where people requested absentee ballots before they turned 18, but they turned 18 before Election Day.

Claim 3: 2423 people who were not registered voted in GA.
Reality: Actual number is 0. It is not possible to issue a ballot without registration. There were a few cases of false voter registration, someone voting in someone else's name, & illegal aliens. Charges below.

Claim 4: 1043 voters used PO boxes to register.
Reality: The state investigated and found almost every instance related to family units or apartment buildings where legitimate voters were using the mailbox listing. None were USPS-style PO boxes.

Claim 5: 10315 people who passed away voted in 2020 in GA.
Reality: There were 4 such cases. All 4 cases had relatives turn in ballots for the deceased. Ex: a 74-year-old widow turned in the absentee ballot of her husband who died in September. ajc.com/politics/alleg…

Claim 6: Georgia ballot rejection rate went from 3% to .03% in 2020.
Reality: This is conflating the rejection rate for all ballots w the rejection rate for signature matching. The 2020 rejection rate was consistent, but the state did add a curing option in 2019.

Anyways, you get the point. This was the entire problem in 2020 w voter fraud allegations. They would just throw claims out there as if it made them true and did not care about the response or investigation. The allegation itself is all they wanted to sell. But that undermines credibility and shows that actual voter fraud is not your real concern, just the outcome.
