Rift within Georgia GOP intensifies as vice chair refuses to resign for voting illegally
Carl GibsonApril 03, 2024
Georgia Republican Party vice chairman Brian Pritchard is steadfastly refusing calls to resign from his post despite a finding that he illegally voted nine times.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) reported Wednesday that Georgia GOP chairman Josh McKoon asked Pritchard to step down as the party's #2 official following a judge's administrative ruling that he voted nine times since 2008 despite being on probation for felony check forgery. While Pritchard won't be jailed for the offense, he was fined $5,000 and will face an unspecified "reprimand," according to the AJC. However, Pritchard has yet to resign, and indicated he plans to stay in his position.
