Georgia group founded by Stacey Abrams under investigation for seeking out-of-state, dead voters
Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has launched investigations into several groups, including one founded by former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, for seeking to “aggressively” register “ineligible, out-of-state, or deceased voters” before the state’s Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections. Vote Forward, he said, "attempted to register a dead Alabama voter, a woman, to vote here in Georgia." Raffensperger's office on Wednesday detailed several instances in which the Abrams-Warnock associated group, The New Georgia Project, have allegedly solicited voters living out of state and people who have passed away. Another effort, according to Georgia election officials, Operation New Voter Registration GA, encouraged Emory students to register fraudulently to vote in the Jan. 5 runoffs. That means Democrats must win both of Georgia’s runoff elections to make it a 50-50 Senate.

And I think what the game needs right now as it enters this phase is to reach out to ‘Destiny 1’ players and say, ‘It’s time to come back.
