Bill Price encourages GOP to commit voter fraud in Georgia with false registrations

Florida attorney under investigation for registering to vote in Georgia, encouraging others to do the same

Bill Price is seen in a now-deleted Facebook Live video, speaking to the Bay County GOP members in Florida on Nov. 7th. It was about half an hour after the election was called for the Joe Biden-Kamala Harris ticket.
...
Price told the group he’s moving to his brother’s address in Hiram, Georgia in order to register to vote in the January runoff. He repeats and spells and his brother’s name and address, as members of the group jot it down. They can be heard mumbling the address in the background while some write.

“We can truly register at that address?” one woman asks.

“Sure,” Price answers, adding they have to plan to show a move, suggesting they have mail sent there.

When contacted, he lied that this was a joke, but:

"But Channel 2 confirmed Price registered to vote the day after he made the speech, using his brother’s Hiram address and swearing to an affidavit that he was a Georgia resident and eligible to vote.
...
In a Wednesday afternoon, Georgia’s Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs confirmed the office would be exploring the felony charges tied to fraudulent voter registration in Georgia."

Busted.

Exhibit 321892 why Repubs scream about fraud whenever they lose. It's their own mindset to cheat.
I hope he doesn't get away with this.

Seems pretty cut and dried. He’s from the Florida Panhandle not far from where Twitler wanna be Gaetz hails from.
