The early voting period ahead of the presidential election has ended in Georgia. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger says early voting records have been shattered, but a handful of people have illegally tried to boost those numbers.
During the early voting period, more than 4,000,000 people cast their ballots early or by absentee mail, meaning more than half of Georgia’s registered voters have already gone to the polls.

But Raffensperger says his office has identified four people who tried to cast at least one more vote.
He says those people may have violated state law and used “various tactics” to cast multiple votes during the early voting period.

Investigators are still investigating the circumstances surrounding these possible violations. If they are found to have broken the law, local prosecutors will have to decide whether to file charges.
Raffensperger did not comment on where these people are located.
