Mayor Kasim Reed’s actions on election day have created an investigation! What did he do?
The Georgia Secretary of State’s Office is investigating a Facebook video in which Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed encourages people to vote and says he votedTuesday for Keisha Lance Bottoms for mayor.
Channel 2 Action News reported Wednesday that state law prohibits solicitation of votes within 150 feet of a polling place. In the video posted to his Facebook page, Reed says he’s at Fickett Elementary School in southwest Atlanta.
The Secretary of State’s Office opened an investigation after receiving a complaint about Reed’s statements, spokeswoman Candice Broce told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The State Election Board will decide the case after the investigation is completed, she said.
