A conservative Georgia talk show host, a candidate for the state House, who rants against election fraud, is accused of voting illegally nine times while serving a felony sentence in a forgery and theft case. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Brian K. Pritchard broke state law each time he voted before his sentence was completed.

Via the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:

Pritchard, the head of FetchYourNews.com, plans to qualify Monday to run in a special election for the state House seat previously held by Speaker David Ralston, who died last month. He will face Ralston's widow, Sheree Ralston. Both candidates are Republicans from the Blue Ridge area in northeast Georgia.

"I will not be intimidated," Pritchard said Friday. He declined to comment on the election fraud allegations against him.

What a guy:

Pritchard pleaded guilty in 1996 to three felonies, including two counts of forgery and one count of theft by failure to make a required disposition of funds, according to court records from Allegheny County, Pennsylvania.

Pritchard registered to vote in Georgia in 2008; then he proceeded to vote in nine elections before his felony probation sentence ended in 2011, the outlet reports.

I'm starting to see a pattern here:

Pritchard has said on his show that the 2020 presidential election was "stolen," though recounts, court cases and investigations have repeatedly debunked those claims. He has criticized Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Republican Attorney General Chris Carr for being "complicit" in Democrat Joe Biden's victory in Georgia.

"I do not believe that 81 million people voted for this guy," Pritchard said on his show earlier this year. "This is what they did to us, America."

This has got to be awkward for Republicans since they're constantly falsely accusing Democrats of rigging elections. And they should know better since the former President tried to pressure a Georgia official "to find 11,780 votes" that he would need to overturn the election results in that state.
