A woman who moved to Georgia from the Bahamas 30 years ago and is not a citizen admitted during a Dec. 9 State Election Board (SEB) hearing that she has voted multiple times. It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.

Clayton County resident Melanie Pickett is a Bahamian native but has lived in the Peach State for approximately 30 years.
