112,000 People Registered in Both Florida and Georgia

Stunning.

A team of investigative journalists from WSB-TV in Atlanta, WFTV in Orlando and WFTS in Tampa and WCPO in Cincinnati compared Georgia’s voter rolls with those in Florida and Ohio and found more than 100,000 people who appear to be registered to vote in more than one state, with no government oversight to catch it.

WSB-TV Channel 2 tried to find Thomas Habel at the home where he’s registered to vote in Hartwell, Georgia, but was unable to locate him.

That’s because he was spending time at his other home in Marco Island, Florida. Before he left for the Sunshine State, according Georgia’s Secretary of State, Habel early-voted at the Hart County elections office.

Chief registrar Elizabeth Forbes says she knows Habel and saw him cast his ballot. She even gave him a sticker. State records confirm Habel voting on October 1, 2008, but Florida records show him voting there on October 25.

“Oh, then that’s not good,” said Forbes when she saw both voting records with Habel’s name on them.

Her office will work together with Florida and Ohio to verify WSB-TV Channel 2’s data; a total of 112,000 people who might be double registered.

“It’s very easy isn’t it? You could potentially vote in, if we had worked it we could have voted in many places many times probably,” said Aaron Bashore, who received two ballots.
