Pro-Trump lawyer L. Lin Wood subject of probe into whether he voted illegally in Georgia: report
L. Lin Wood might lead the way to a case of voter fraud in Georgia after all.
The Trump ally who filed a fraud lawsuit to block Georgia’s election certification is now the subject of an investigation into whether he himself was a legal Georgia voter during the 2020 presidential election, WSB-TV reported Tuesday.
“I have been domiciled in South Carolina for several months after purchasing property in the state in April,” Wood said in an email to WSB-TV reporter Justin Gray.
Sources in the Georgia secretary of state’s office said the email caused them to launch an official investigation, the station reported.
Wood, a longtime conservative whose recent clients include QAnon-mongering Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and Kenosha protest gunman Kyle Rittenhouse, denied any wrongdoing in a statement.
“I have been a resident of the State of Georgia since 1955. I changed my residency to South Carolina yesterday,” Wood said.
“This is pure harassment by the Georgia Secretary of State because I have revealed credible evidence of election fraud,” he said.
The election-fraud claims Wood made on Trump’s behalf were dismissed as “silly” and “baseless” by Georgia’s deputy secretary of state before they ultimately failed in court.
At one point before he was kicked off Twitter, Wood tweeted that Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger would “soon be going to jail” because they didn’t support Trump’s desperate bid to overturn President Joe Biden’s election victory.
He included a manipulated photo of Kemp and Raffensperger wearing face masks with the Chinese flag.
Trump retweeted the incendiary post in mid-December before he himself was banned from Twitter a few weeks later.
