The Georgia secretary of state’s office has opened an investigation into whether U.S. Rep. Drew Ferguson voted illegally during last year’s midterm elections.
That probe was launched the day after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Ferguson, R-Ga., voted in person in Troup County during last year’s primary, general and runoff elections despite having moved to a different home in Pike County, roughly 63 miles away.
It’s illegal in Georgia for voters to cast a ballot in a county where they don’t have a residence.
