Investigators for Georgia’s Attorney General shot down former President Donald Trump’s claim that ‘upwards of 5,000’ dead people cast absentee ballots in the key battleground state in 2020, saying the actual numbers was four.  One of those cases was in Trion.

Earlier in 2021, Georgia’s Board of Elections discovered that Trion woman Sherry Cook submitted an absentee ballot for her husband Donald, who passed away months before the election. Cook said that she and her daughter returned the vote after her husband signed it before his death. Investigators said the ballot wasn’t issued until after he died.
