The <em>Free Beacon<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/elections\/days-before-election-stacey-abramss-poster-child-voter-registration-group-is-in-turmoil\/\">reported<\/a> that the group&#8217;s top financial officer was fired in June after informing colleagues he couldn\u2019t do his job without violating the law, and that the group needed to bring in a forensic accountant to right its ship. Sen. Raphael Warnock (D., Ga.), who will appear with Abrams on the ballot Tuesday, served as the group\u2019s chairman from 2017 through early 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the New Georgia Project&#8217;s involvement in the two high-profile elections, Loeffler said it is incumbent upon Georgia authorities to investigate the group immediately &#8220;to protect the integrity of our elections for every Georgia voter.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Georgia\u2019s elections are determined at the margin,&#8221; Loeffler told the <em>Free Beacon<\/em>. &#8220;The illegal influence they could be generating here needs to be investigated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An investigation could pose problems for Abrams and Warnock, both of whom are tied to groups plagued by scandal in the weeks leading up to Election Day. The Georgia state ethics commission determined in August that the New Georgia Project likely violated state law by failing to report $3 million in spending in support of Abrams\u2019s failed 2018 gubernatorial campaign. The Georgia secretary of state\u2019s Securities and Charities Division launched an <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/georgia-launches-investigation-into-warnocks-church-following-free-beacon-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investigation<\/a> into a charity controlled by Warnock\u2019s church in October following a <em>Free Beacon<\/em> report that the church owns a low-income apartment building through the charity that moved to evict disadvantaged residents during the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Fair Fight Action and Fair Fight PAC, two other groups founded by Abrams after her 2018 loss, also came under fire in October for doling out lucrative payments to Abrams\u2019s close associates.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Stacey Abrams has raised tens, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, on the back of false claims of voter suppression, and yet has been proven to be someone that cannot be trusted with money,&#8221; Loeffler said. While Abrams is no longer formally affiliated with the New Georgia Project, its current chairman, Francys Johnson, is a regular at Abrams campaign events.<\/p>\n<p>Loeffler <a href=\"https:\/\/files.constantcontact.com\/54e0cbb5801\/6478979e-702c-498b-9e80-c05b75a33e7d.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sent<\/a> her investigative demand on behalf of Greater Georgia Action, a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former senator Kelly Loeffler (R., Ga.) called on authorities to fast-track an investigation into Stacey Abrams\u2019s voter registration group following a Washington Free Beacon report on the group\u2019s alleged financial impropriety.<br \/>\nThe post Kelly Loeffler Calls for Investigation Into Stacey Abrams\u2019s Shady Voter Group appeared first on Washington Free Beacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":108,"featured_media":1728672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1728669","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1728669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/108"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1728669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1728669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1728672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1728669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1728669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1728669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
