16. The Washington Post points out this fraudster claims the 2020 election was "stolen"

On his history - thankfully, voters had enough sense (even in a race with all 5 candidates Republican, so must be a right wing place) to only give him 6.2% of the vote):

Even as he inveighed against election fraud, the Republican, who announced his candidacy earlier this month for state House of Representatives, voted while serving a sentence for a $33,000 forgery and theft case, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday.

Each vote cast broke the law, the Georgia attorney general’s office said last week, according to the Journal-Constitution. No sooner had Pritchard qualified on Monday to run in a special election to replace the late Speaker David Ralston, than he found himself defending his actions and saying his right to vote was intact and his sentence was long gone.
...
Pritchard runs local news site FetchYourNews.com. He is running against another Republican from northeast Georgia: David Ralston’s widow, Sheree Ralston. David Ralston died last month at age 68, not long after announcing he’d step down over health concerns.

The two will face off on Jan. 3, with a runoff on Jan. 31 if no one wins the first time.

But the Republican party thinks "forger" is a good qualification for a party vice chairman.
