#BrianPritchard had been sentenced in 1996 in #Pennsylvania to 3 years’ probation for #felony check #forgery charges. His #probation was REVOKED THREE TIMES — once in 1999, after he moved to #Georgia, & again in 2002 & 2004. In 2004, a judge imposed a new 7-year probationary sentence on Pritchard, thus making him #ineligible to vote until at least 2011 in Georgia, where state #law prohibits #felons from voting.
Despite that, court documents showed that #BrianPritchard signed voter registration forms in 2008 in which he affirmed that he was “not serving a sentence for having been #convicted of a #felony involving moral turpitude.” He then cast ballots in four #Georgia primary & general elections in 2008, as well as five special, primary & general elections in 2010.
