State officials in Georgia are now investigating allegations that ballot harvesting—a practice that’s unlawful in the state—was used widely during the November 2020 general election and the U.S. Senate runoff elections that followed two months later.

The allegations originated from good-government group True the Vote, which has promised to release other information on voting irregularities in five other states.
