Florida Attorney Under Investigation for Violating Voting Laws in Georgia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Florida attorney Bill Price faces a felony investigation after he urged
fellow Republicans to violate the law by registering to vote in Georgia.
The investigation follows these remarks Price made in early November in
a since-deleted Facebook Live video.

Bill Price: "We have to win on January 5th. And I will invite each and
every one of you to be my roommate in Georgia. I'm moving to Georgia.
I'm changing my voter registration right now. And I'm inviting 2 million
people to be my roommate."

Under Georgia state law, it's a felony punishable by up to 10 years in
prison to register to vote as a nonresident without proper
qualifications. Price later told reporters in Atlanta he was only making
"humorous comments" - but elections officials in Georgia's Paulding
County say Price did, in fact, register to vote at his brother's
address.
