Donald Trump has claimed 5,000 dead people voted in 2020 in Georgia, a state he lost to Joe Biden on his way to national defeat.
He was off by 4,996.
As the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported on Monday, state officials have confirmed four cases of dead people voting.
All involved family members submitting votes for the deceased, cases in which the state has the power to levy fines.
In one case detailed by the paper, a widow submitted an absentee ballot for her husband after he died in September, two months before polling day.
An attorney for the 74-year-old woman reportedly told officials her husband "was going to vote Republican, and she said, 'Well, I'm going to cancel your ballot because I'm voting Democrat.' It was kind of a joke between them. She received the absentee ballot and carried out his wishes.
"She now realises that was not the thing to do."
