Georgia Election Official Who Called Fraud Allegations “Ridiculous” For Weeks Reveals Woman Used His Address to Vote 2 Years After Moving

Headlines Politics U.S.

The voting implementation manager in Georgia, Gabriel Sterling, who has for weeks called voter fraud allegations “ridiculous” and “irresponsible,” has revealed that he has become the victim of voter fraud.

Sterling told reporters this week that the woman who sold him his home and moved to Maryland – in 2018 –  used his address to vote in the Nov. 3 general election and was apparently planning on voting again in the Jan. 5 Senate runoff elections in Georgia.

“It would have been absolutely illegal voting if this wasn’t stopped,” said Sterling.

“I mean of all the ironies to come to my house, so I could go and look it up and sure enough she had requested the ballot be sent to Maryland,” Sterling said.

When asked about the chances something like this would happen in Sterling’s own home he replied, “The Lord moves in mysterious ways.”

Voting records show the woman, Meron Fissha, requested and returned an absentee ballot in the November general election.

When reached for comment Fissha said she lives and works in Atlanta but was in Maryland to care for her ill brother. She said she had not “updated” her address. Sterling disputes that account however saying Fissha signed a sworn oath saying she lived at his address, and has voted using that address in two election cycles.
