Nope! Fake News!over 100 thousand illegal votes happened in Georgia in 2020 no telling how many were illegals,
Gemini-A/I
To be direct: No, there is no evidence that 100,000 illegal votes were cast in Georgia’s 2020 election.
While this number has been frequently cited in various claims, exhaustive investigations by both Republican and Democratic officials have consistently debunked it. Here is the breakdown of what the actual investigations found:
1. The Official Audits and Recounts
Georgia’s 2020 results were scrutinized more than perhaps any other state in history:
- Three separate counts: The ballots were counted by machine, then by hand, and then a formal recount was conducted. All three confirmed the same outcome.
- The "Noncitizen" Audit: In late 2024, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (a Republican) conducted a comprehensive audit of the entire 8.2 million-voter roll. He found only 20 noncitizens were registered, and only 9 of them had ever cast a ballot (in various elections, not necessarily 2020).
2. Specific Claims vs. Reality
Many of the "illegal vote" claims involved specific categories that were later found to be based on data errors:
- Deceased Voters: Claims were made that over 10,000 dead people voted. Investigators found only four such cases, all involving relatives casting ballots for recently deceased family members.
- Underage Voters: Claims of thousands of underage voters were investigated; the actual number found was zero.
- Unregistered Voters: Claims of thousands of unregistered voters were also found to be zero.
3. Recent Developments (2025–2026)
Even as of February 2026, new federal investigations and "raids" on Fulton County election offices have continued to draw headlines. However, legal experts and election officials emphasize that these actions are based on repackaged claims that have already been dismissed by courts and previous state investigations.
Bottom Line: While administrative errors occur in every large election (such as missing signatures on paperwork), investigators found no evidence of widespread illegal voting or fraud that would come anywhere close to 100,000—or even 12,000 (the margin of the election).
