Nothing to worry about, right dems? You always snswer this way.
ATLANTA – As the pastor of Atlanta's famed Ebenezer Baptist Church, Rev. Raphael Warnock knows how to deliver a line for maximum effect. He employed that skill Wednesday, decrying a fraud probe the state has launched into a minority voter registration drive.
"You don't have to wear a hood -- you don't have to be a member of the Ku Klux Klan to be engaged in voter suppression. We know voter suppression when we see it," Warnock told a press conference in Georgia's Capitol building.
The charge, harkening back to a dark period in the South's history, was aimed squarely at Georgia's Republican Secretary of State Brian Kemp. Kemp's office is investigating whether the group Warnock is associated with -- the New Georgia Project -- has committed fraud in its drive to register more than 100,000 minority voters before the Oct. 6 deadline.
"There's somebody clearly doing something wrong," Kemp told Fox News. "And we want to figure out who that is, and try to make sure that we stop that. And bring charges against those people."
At an emergency hearing of the state Election Board this week, Kemp's investigator Chris Harvey laid out the elements of the case. Harvey said he had confirmed 28 cases of fraud in 14 counties -- 25 fraudulent voter registration applications and three fraudulent canvassing sheets. Some had forged signatures; others, false information. Another 26 cases were labeled suspicious.
Falsifying a voter registration form is a felony in the state of Georgia.
