ATLANTA — Georgia is among several states that have received subpoenas from the Department of Homeland Security as part of an investigation into alleged voter fraud.
A subpoena from Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI, requests voter information for 13 people in Georgia.
Gabe Sterling with the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office said he is not surprised or concerned by the request.
“We will do our best to follow the law like we always do, and protect everybody’s right to vote,” Sterling said.
Sterling also expressed confidence in Georgia’s voter information.
“We know that we have, and even third-party groups know that we have the cleanest list in the United States of America,” Sterling said.
Sterling said cases involving noncitizens registering or voting are rare.
“It is a little over rot right now, the reality is it is incredibly rare, ceasingly rare, for noncitizens A. to register and B. to actually vote,” Sterling said.
A DHS spokesperson said the agency cannot comment on active investigations. The agency says HSI is focused on prosecuting and removing noncitizens who vote and preventing the dilution of votes cast by U.S. citizens.
Sterling said Georgians can be confident in the state’s election system as voting approaches.
“Nothing seems to be at risk, and we’re happy to vote in this state, so everybody review your candidates and get ready to start voting. Absentee ballots go out in about 30 days, and early voting starts in about 45 days,” Sterling said.
