At its last meeting, the State Election Board voted to impose an $80,000 penalty -- the largest civil penalty imposed by the Board against an individual in Georgia history. For those who continue to doubt the scope and extent of voter fraud involving non-citizens in Georgia, the record in the case is telling. Here is the actual testimony in that record from a non-citizen under oath:

“Q. And what did [the candidate] tell you when you first met him?

A. He first introduced himself and he told me he was running for county commissioner and he wanted me to vote for him and I told him that I cannot vote because I’m not a U.S. citizen. And then he said you don’t have to be a U.S. citizen to vote. He said all you need is your driver’s license. He said you got a driver’s license, I said, yeah, I got a driver’s license. He said that’s all you need. He said let me have your driver’s license and it won’t take ten minutes and I’ll register you and I let him. …. And he took my driver’s license and went to his truck and his wife was there in the truck that had her laptop computer and about ten minutes later he come back and gave me my driver’s license and said I got everything done, all you got to do is sign right here. And I didn’t even read the paper, so I signed the papers. He said in about a week you’ll get some papers in the mail he said and you make sure you fill them out, you check my name and he said send them back or if you want to he said when you get the paper’s I’ll come back and help you fill it out.”

Isolated instance - not quite. Here, is a different non-citizen witness’ sworn testimony:

“Q. Okay, And did you hear [the candidate] -- I mean, what did [the candidate] tell you after you told him that your husband wasn’t a citizen?

A. Well, the only -- He told me that -- He asked me -- The first thing he asked me was did he have a driver’s license and I said yes, he does. And he says well, anyone with a valid Georgia’s Driver’s License is eligible to vote. And I told him I did not know that, I thought you had to be a U.S. citizen to vote and he said, no, no, anybody with a valid driver’s license is allowed to vote. So that’s when later Miquel had commented to me, he had told him the same thing and that he said he wanted -- he later brought in the voting ballot for him to sign and that he would bring in a box, to put in the box.”

“Q. Are you an American citizen? INTERPRETER: No. Q. Do you know [the candidate]? INTERPRETER: I don’t know him. He’s come to my house, but I don’t know him. Q. Okay, How many time (sic) has he come by your house? INTERPRETER: About tow (sic) or three times. Q. And what did he tell you when he first came by your house? INTERPRETER: He was promoting himself for votes and I’m not sure. Q. Okay. And what did you tell him when he asked you to vote for him? INTERPRETER: I couldn’t vote. Q. And why did you tell him you couldn’t vote? INTERPRETER: Because I’m not an American citizen. Q. And what did [the candidate] tell you after your told him that? INTERPRETER: He asked me if I had a social security number and a license. Q. And did you register to vote after [the candidate] told you that? INTERPRETER: I filled some paperwork out and then a ballot came to my house. . . . Q. And did you believe you were eligible to vote before [the candidate] told you that you could vote? INTERPRETER: I didn’t believer (sic) I could vote, but he told me I could vote with a license or social security number.”

Witness after witness - 483 total pages of proceedings. There is a voter fraud problem in Georgia. This one got caught. The price: $80,000.
