Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and to “be publicly reprimanded for his conduct' by the State Election Board, which sought sanctions against him.
Brian Pritchard, first vice chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, was found to have violated the state's election laws, a judge from the Office of State Administrative Hearings ruled this week.Administrative Law Judge Lisa Boggs wrote in her Wednesday decision that Pritchard violated state election laws by voting while on probation for forgery and other felonies, and that his explanations were neither "credible or convincing."Pritchard was ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and $375.
"When cross-examined, he told the court he did not believe he had remaining years of probation on his sentence in 2008 and that he believed his last involvement with any Pennsylvania criminal matter was finished in March 1999, despite the probation revocations in 2002 and 2004, records show.Between 2008 and 2009, Pritchard voted in nine separate Georgia elections in Gilmer County.
