Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) announced the indictment of a voter who cast ballots in both Georgia and Arizona in the November 2022 election.

The secretary of state's office conducted an investigation into double-voting following the 2022 general election and referred the case to the Forsyth County district attorney’s office, according to a press release Wednesday.

The DA's office indicted the individual, who allegedly voted in-person during the Advance Voting period in Georgia on Nov. 1, 2022, and then sent a mail-in ballot for Maricopa County, Ariz., on Nov. 5.

The investigation also found information indicating the individual cast ballots in both states over multiple elections.

“Any illegal vote undermines a citizen’s legal vote,” Raffensperger said in a statement. “One citizen, one vote – anyone who tries to run up the scoreboard will be prosecuted.”
