Ann Reed of Meadville, Margie McNair of Bude, and Dona
Jones of Meadville were charged with violating a state
elections law forbidding dishonest decisions by managers of
polling places concerning qualifications of voters. The
women allegedly did not check voter qualifications. State law
says if an election manager knowingly permits an unqualified
person to vote or prohibits a qualified person from voting, the
manager may face jail time of up to three months, a fine of up

For poll workers to endure what Ive heard is not right.
The five members of the Madison County Election
Commission, who were requested to sit in on the hearing at
Johnsons request as technical advisers on elections, agreed
with the judges ruling.
Ray Rosamond filed the court challenge after losing to Brown
by four votes in the Democratic primary.
Johnson ruled that Kimberly Readus, a member of the Canton
Democratic Municipal Executive Committee, used profanity
and bullying tactics to create a breach of the peace, intimidate
voters and poll workers to disrupt the election process. After
listening to testimony from poll workers and poll watchers in
the Ward 1 precinct, Johnson also found that Readus wrongly

Each player was ordered to serve 360 days of unsupervised
probation, complete 50 hours of community service and pay
$325 in fees. All of the sentences were deferred, meaning the
crime will be expunged from a player's record if he completes
the conditions of his sentence. Judge Douglas Herman said
during sentencing that the defendants were "not smart
enough, grown up enough or sophisticated enough" to
understand the consequences of their actions.

type of voting
irregularity occurs when an individual who is not registered to
vote in Philadelphia at the time of an election casts a vote.
Evidence in this report shows individuals who were not
registered voters at the time of the 2012 primary, yet still cast
votes included in the Certified Election Results. 2. Voting by
individuals in the incorrect partys Primary This type of
irregularity is one of the most common irregularities that occur
in
Primary Elections in Philadelphia. A division in which all nonDemocratic voters cast votes for candidates in the
Democratic Primary is examined in this report. 3. Divisions
with more votes than voters This type of
voting irregularity occurs when more votes are cast on the
Voting Machines than voters who showed up to the polls. We
examined a division where either 6 unknown voters were able
to vote without signing in, or at least one person voted more
than once. 4. Voting by individuals in the incorrect legislative
district This type of voting irregularity refers to voters casting
votes on the Voting Machines in a legislative district that does
not include

Lyons was issued a $50 fine and sentenced to 45 days
in jail, but the jail sentence was suspended for 12
months of unsupervised probation.
Lyons also paid $180 in court fees.
Lyons, who had served 12 years on the Morrisville
Town Council, was running for re-election last year
when she faced allegations that she violated state
election laws by mishandling absentee ballots,
improperly witnessing absentee ballots and trying to
vote twice. The Wake County Board of Elections
turned over the case to the district attorneys office,
which turned the matter over to the State Bureau of
Investigations. After a 10-month SBI probe, the district
attorneys office decided to only pursue charges related
to Lyons attempt to vote twice, said Assistant District
Attorney Steven Saad.

went to
trial in November 2010 for attempting to win an election by
asking voters to apply for absentee ballots. Instead of letting
the voters choose their own candidate, a self-proclaimed

party to dispose of votes for opposing candidates. Voters

*Plea deal: 1-to 3-year state prison sentence
guilty in Hillsborough County Superior Court, Northern District, (suspended ), $5,000 fine plus a 24% penalty
to one felony and two misdemeanor charges of wrongful
assessment, loss of right to vote in New Hampshire.
voting in violation of state law.
Schneider illegally voted in the Ward 9 polling place in
Manchester on Nov. 6, 2012, during the presidential election;
in the 2012 presidential primary election, when he took a
Democratic ballot; and in Ward 9 during the 2008 presidential
election. By law, a voter may only vote in the town, ward or
unincorporated place in which he or she is domiciled.
Schneider was given a 1-to 3-year state prison sentence, all
suspended for five years on the condition of good behavior.
He also must pay a
$5,000 fine, plus a 24% penalty assessment, and loses his
right to vote in New Hampshire, even if he is qualified,

she committed voter fraud, casting ballots
before she became a naturalized
U.S. citizen. According to the voting records obtained through
the County Clerk, Lechuga-Tena first voted in an Albuquerque
election in 2003 when she was 20, when she was not a
citizen, and again in a 2014 Democratic primary election after
becoming a citizen. LechugaTena said that when she
was 18, a group registered her to vote while she was at the
University of New Mexico and that she didnt know at the time
that she had to be a U.S. citizen in order to vote. I was a
complete victim of the process, she said. The case was

a ballot in the referendum. Nineteen people were turned away for lack of identification while
19 others were found not to be citizens. Two people also voted more than once in the
referendum, and said those names will be turned over to the Delaware attorney general's

There was so much fraud in the November 2014 race to ll the

Magon County judge-executive position that a judge has ruled that
the results must be thrown out. Hardin, an incumbent Democrat, defeated Republican
challenger John P. Montgomery by only 28 votes. There were documented instances of
improper early voting without Republican precinct monitors present as required by law,
precinct ocers helping voters to cast their ballots, and evidence that
some residents sold their votes. One local resident, Larry Perkins, witnessed another, Simon
Marshall, with a $50 bill inquiring how much beer he could get with it. According to Perkins
testimony, when asked where the money had come from, Marshall replied, It is Election Day.

Merrie Lee Soules believes there are serious questions about the lopsided outcomes involving
absentee votes in the two precincts that make up Sunland Park. Soules, who lost to Sandy

difference in her race. Jones beat Soules in the Precinct 13 absentee balloting, 51-2. In the
other Sunland Park precinct, Precinct 97, Jones won the absentee vote, 34-1. Soules did not

be voter fraud. Mobile City Clerk Lisa Lambert, who will oversee vote returns in Tuesdays

44 Forty-four non-U.S. citizens voted in Ohio elections in 2013-2014. The 44 were among 436
non-citizens discovered on Ohio voter registration rolls in checks by the Secretary of States
office. 27 who cast a ballot were referred to the Ohio attorney general for investigation and
possible prosecution.
Thirty law enforcement officers in Hamilton County are facing up to a year in prison after a
Board of Elections staffer discovered they registered to vote using their police stations
addresses as their own. Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted has since ordered county
Boards of Elections across the state to review voter rolls and flag any commercial addresses
used by individuals to register to vote. Ohio state law prohibits one from registering to vote
with a commercial address, but in order to be convicted of a crime, one must be proven to
have done so knowingly, not by mistake. Consequently, both Democrats and Republicans on
the Board of Elections are approaching this case with leniency.
According to Cincinnati.com, The officers arent alone in the county. They join 285 people
who are registered at places other than where they live. Of those, 25 are registered at UPS
stores; eight at U.S. Post Offices; and 252 at other places, according to the board.

Attorney Sarah Kirkman with enough evidence to move forward with criminal cases. Two of
those cases involved convicted felons whose voting rights had not been restored. Iredell
County Sheriffs Office detective Lt. Errin Jenkins said the more he looked into the matter, the
more it looked like innocent oversight on the part of both men. Jenkins said one of the men
had been convicted not long before the Nov. 6 election and was not aware that his voting
rights had been removed. The other involved a man convicted of giving prescription drugs to
an acquaintance, and he believed his voting rights had been restored by the time of the
election. In that case, some of his rights had been restored but not all of them,
Jenkins said. In both cases, when I talked to them, I thought they were being honest with me
and that they genuinely didnt know they werent allowed to vote. I really thought it was an
honest mistake.

2 Investigations into four Iredell County residents who had been deemed by the countys Board
of Elections to have voted illegally in last falls general elections did not provide District
Attorney Sarah Kirkman with enough evidence to move forward with criminal cases. In two
cases, people voted twice, each just days apart. Following the canvassing of the elections,
the Board of Elections found enough evidence for a possible case for fraudulent voting in
matters concerning two Statesville residents: 74-year-old Republican Jessie Parker; and
Sheila Keaton, a 44-year-old Democrat. Board of Elections Director Becky Galliher told the
board at the time that she had spoken with Parker and Keaton and found that both gave
plausible explanations as to why they voted twice. I really dont think either one of them did
anything with malicious intent. Galliher and her staff discovered that both of the voters casts
ballots during the One-Stop early voting period
Parker on Oct. 31; Keaton on Nov. 2 and then again on the Nov. 6 Election Day. And
the Board of Elections members felt that was enough to turn it over to the district attorneys
office to sort out. In a letter to Galliher, Kirkman wrote that based on the facts surrounding
the case and the law relevant to election issues, the State will not pursue criminal prosecution
in these matters.

The Scotland County Board of Elections is pursuing a voter fraud case after a convicted felon
cast a vote in the 2012 elections. The information will be turned over to prosecutors, said
Dell Parker, board director. "A person convicted of a felony cannot vote until their rights are
restored, they've pulled their time, paid their fines and are off of probation," she said. The
allegedly fraudulent vote was cast during
the one-stop early voting period that was held prior to the November elections. The convicted
felon registered and voted on the same day. Workers discovered, while researching the man's
information, that he was still on probation.
"We sent a letter requesting him to appear for a hearing and he did not (appear)," she said.
The names of those who register in the county remain in the board's computer records, but
are marked as being in "removed status," Parker said. That allows workers to easily
determine if someone is eligible to vote, she said. The man's name has not been released.
"By election laws, I cannot release name until the district attorney decides what to do,"
Parker said.
Provisional ballots
h ttp://it.tmcnet.com/news/201
Franklin County Board of Elections delayed counting provisional ballots cast in the November
2012 general election until it could determine from other counties whether 2,438 ballots, which
were cast
by voters registered elsewhere in Ohio, were valid. An additional 2,735 were cast by people
who elections officials believe were not registered in Ohio, and 1,849 were cast by people
voting in both the wrong precinct and polling location. Elections Board members also
struggled to decide what to do about 44 people who signed a poll book on Election Day,
signifying they were cleared to vote on a machine, but who also cast provisional ballots.
Theres no way to determine whether they both cast an electronic ballot and filled out a
provisional ballot.

2012. Ken Terry, Allen County Board of Elections director, announced the cases were passed
on after three people voted twice in the Nov. 6 election, he told the board during a special
meeting at the Allen County Board of Elections. The bottom line is these people cast two
ballots, but one of them is not going to count. We were able to catch them early. There are
various situations where they voted either absentee or at the polls and then cast a provisional
ballot. These have been forwarded to the prosecutor to be investigated for possible voter
fraud.

2 Hamilton County's Election's Board sent two more cases of potential voter fraud to the
prosecutor in May 2013 for further investigation, bringing the total number before the
prosecutor to 10.
One person possibly lived in Boston when she voted in the 2012 election; the other told
elections employees he didn't know why he cast both a absentee and provisional ballot in
the 2012 election. In the latter case only one vote was counted.
20 In May 2013, 20 individuals who were registered to vote in Ohio and another state, and who
appear to have cast ballots in both states in November 2012, were referred by Secretary of
State Husted to the Attorney General. They included a man who voted in person in both Ohio
and Kentucky on Election Day and a woman who cast an absentee ballot in Virginia then
voted in person in Ohio. The cases were identified as a result of Ohios voluntary
involvement in the Interstate Crosscheck Program. Through the Interstate Crosscheck
Program, Ohio was able to compare its Statewide Voter Registration Database against the
voter databases from the other participating states and review matches using a thorough
process that involved requesting additional information from elections officials in other states
and from Ohios county boards of elections.

17 Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced in December 2013 that his office found 17
non-citizens illegally cast ballots in the 2012 presidential election -- and has referred the case
for possible prosecution. Husted also found that 274 non-citizens remain on the voting rolls.
As part of Ohio's efforts to clean up the voting rolls, election officials discovered that more
than 257,000 dead people were still listed as active voters. Their names and status, Husted
said, have since been removed. In addition, election authorities note they have drastically
reduced the number of duplicate registrations, from 340,000 in 2011, and that more than
370,000 Ohio voters who have moved have been contacted to update their voting information.

18 The Hamilton County Board of Elections heard 45 new cases of potential voter fraud involving
residents who used U.S. post office branches when registering to vote in the November 2012
election.
A number of voters listed their addresses at eight of the 10 UPS stores in Hamilton County
when they registered to vote in the fall election.
Prior to the hearing, subpoenas were issued to UPS store owners to try and gather more
information about the voting status of each person. If the investigation turns up as voter fraud,
the charge is a felony. The Board of Elections found 18 of the voters had cast ballots in the
November 2012 election.
Some of the other cases included several voters who registered using the Sharonville post
office on Reading Road as their address. In another case, a voter used the post office
location on Cooper Road in Blue Ash because she said someone was trying to kill her at her
home address. Under Ohio law, people must register where they live in order to vote.

disabled homebound voters, naming Pometko as their agent to submit their ballots. Fidler
claims that of the 119/120 absentee ballots that were completed, every one appears to be
written in the same handwriting, and each voter signed his/her envelope with a mark instead
of a signature. Of those 119 absentee ballots submitted on behalf of voters, 16 of those
voters actually went to the polls on Election Day. The court found that the petitioner failed to
meet his burden of establishing, by clear and convincing evidence, that Ms. Pometko or
Storobin are chargeable with knowledge of any fraud with respect to the procurement of
absentee ballots.

Rodriguez said, while verifying signatures, her operators came across a signature that did not
match that of two voters, a husband and wife. Her office then contacted the couple, who
confirmed they had not even received their ballots in the mail, "and then what we ultimately
did was send a team of representatives from our office to their actual house with replacement
ballots so they could vote their ballot, so they could actually see what we had received, and
they acknowledged that that was not them." Rodriguez said the investigation is on-going,
including the possibility the ballots may have been stolen.

Description
Agents from the state Attorney General Mike DeWines office investigated possible attempted
absentee ballot voter fraud in the 2010 general election. In early July Ohio Secretary of State
John Husted asked the attorney general and the Lawrence County Prosecutor to determine if
a group of Democrats had attempted the fraud. If so, it could mean prison time and a fine for
anyone convicted of these crimes. At issue are applications for absentee ballots that were
sent to two post office boxes 42 were sent to a box in Ironton and 77 sent to a post office
box in Chesapeake during the fall of 2010. In October 2010, a board of elections employee
noticed that the handwriting in the Send Ballot To portion of the applications differed from
that in the section with the voters name. The board then contacted 10 voters to see where
they wanted their ballots sent. All 10 voters replied that they wanted their ballots mailed to
them at their home address, suggesting that the Send Ballot To portion of the absentee ballot
applications was completed after the voters filled in their applications form, Husted said in a
letter in July about the situation. An investigation was launched in the fall of 2010 by then
Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, which was turned over to Husted
in January. Husted continued the investigation, sending agents to take affidavits from county
residents. From that investigation the Secretary of State said in his letter there could be
several election law violations that would be fourth-degree felonies. Such felonies carry a
maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine for each conviction.
The Texas Secretary of State has asked the state Attorney General to look into a complaint
of "vote-harvesting" centered around a San Antonio cemetery. The investigation centers on
the 2010 elections in Bexar County, but the initiator of the complaint alleges the harvesting
continues to operate in a manner which sounds remarkably similar to a case from Gonzales
four years ago. Keith Ingram, director of elections for Texas Secretary of State Hope
Andrade, sent a letter to director of law enforcement Clete Buckaloo with the AG's office
asking an investigation into a complaint that a vote-harvesting ring which may be operating
throughout South Texas is headquartered at a San Antonio cemetery.
Bexar County Republican Party member and state committeeman Weston Martinez filed the
complaint and copies of a number of questionable ballot applications as evidence -- including
applications from the 2012 primary elections. The state officials have been apprised that
what in Martinez's opinion is "thousands" of mail-in absentee ballot applications in Bexar
County all have the same return address: 3530 Roland Avenue, San Antonio, Texas, 78210.
That is the address of the Eastview Cemetery run by a woman named Joann Ramon, who
was recently named to head up the Bexar County Democratic Partys vote-by-mail initiative by
county chairman Manuel Medina "They have a team that mails in requests for ballots by
mail, all with that same return address," Martinez said. "Then they have another team that
either goes to the (voter) and helps them fill in the ballot, or they fill it in themselves."
First of all what Im doing is get out the vote for my party. Secondly, it's not illegal, said
Ramon. And it's not illegal - as long as no one assists the voter without declaring it on the
application for a ballot. Ramon says her staff only mails the applications to democrats over 65
years old - then calls to make sure they mail it - never handling any of it.
As for Ramon using the cemetery address, the county elections administrator jacque Callanen
says that is legal. We don't track that, so we don't have that information, said Callanen. And
any information the county might come across revealing alleged voter fraud, she cannot do
anything about. The elections office is not an investigative body. If we see things, suspect
things, our priority is to make sure no one is disenfranchised and that we get a ballot to every
eligible voter.

In 2008, the Obama Campaign opened a headquarters on Hughes Boulevard managed by a

gentleman who commuted from Virginia. On the last day of same-day registration and voting
he came to the Pasquotank office with a utility bill in his name at the address of the campaign
office and attempted to register and vote.
In the 2011 municipal election, two Elizabeth City State University employees brought a van of
ECSU cheerleaders to the polls forcing them to register and vote. One employee was brother
to a candidate. Some of the girls did not want to register. One even called her mother from
the office and her mother told her not to do it. When they exited the building without voting
they were instructed to go back in and vote. All of this is a matter of record in the Pasquotank
Board of Election minutes.
When a Camden resident, formerly from Pasquotank, could not vote in 2010, she informed
them she had registered at DSS. She was unaware that DSS keeps declination forms of
those who say they do not want to register and it is forwarded to the County Board of
Elections office or to the State Board. The Camden Board found the form she signed
declining to register at DSS. For the record, she left Camden that day and traveled to
Pasquotank and voted illegally.
In 2012, State Sen. Bill Cook won by 21 votes out of 87,449 votes cast It was later

also been several cases where voters register their address to a business so they can vote in

In 2008, the Milwaukee Police Department issued a report detailing vote fraud that occurred
during the 2004 presidential election. The police task force that issued the study said they
believed 16 workers from the John Kerry campaign and third-party groups committed felony
crimes that went unprosecuted. The MPD found one property where 128 individuals were
registered to vote all of whom signed up for the 2004 election. Twenty-nine voters were
registered at a county office building that featured no residential living. The MPD report found
instances of double-voting, unopened absentee ballots appearing after the election, and
deceased people voting. . . The MPD task force also questioned the validity of several
homeless shelters one featured 162 registered voters, another boasted 136.
Many of these homeless individuals were registered at multiple locations and since
identification wasnt necessary to vote, anyone could have used these peoples names to
vote. According to the police report, this vote portability and the abject poverty that defines
homelessness, make these unfortunate individuals vulnerable to become the tools of voter
fraud by those who would exploit the homeless.

In 2000, former City Council President Rosalind Norrell-Nance defeated her 2nd Ward
opponent at the polls. But she lost 574-515 on the strength of 115 absentee ballots that David
Callaway brought an hour before polls closed. Of those 115, Robert L. Johnson received 112
votes to Norrell-Nances three. Fraud occurs when someone else marks the ballot, and most
people did not see the ballot, Norrell- Nance said at the time.
Later, it was Whelan who cried foul when losing in a similar fashion in 2001. Callaway and his
brother, Craig, were largely responsible for Lorenzo Langfords tremendous and controversial
absentee-ballot drive. The Board of Elections rejected ballots that had inconsistent
signatures, laughing at how obvious the flaws were to spot, but widespread fraud was never
proved.
Craig Callaway won a 3rd Ward City Council seat in 2002(?) thanks to absentee ballots.
While he lost by a substantial margin at the machines, he received a vast majority of the votes
from absentee ballots, winning the election by one vote. Youd see hundreds of ballots that
would come in with exactly the same voting pattern. No deviation at all, Whelan said. The
statistical probability of that is zero.
Another Callaway brother, Ronald, pleaded guilty in 2003 to voting nine times in four elections.
The state Attorney Generals Office in 2009 filed charges against a dozen people, including
David Callaway, on charges that they mishandled absentee ballots in an attempt to help Marty
Small win the 2009 Democratic mayoral primary in Atlantic City. Those charged were
acquitted or had their charges dismissed.

A recent Miami-Dade ethics commission probe concluded three women residing at an
assisted living facility in North Miami Beach were victims of absentee ballot voter fraud. . .
while the investigation did not turn up enough evidence to file criminal charges, the watchdog
agency did find proof the trio's absentee ballots or related forms were "altered, forged, or
compromised." The ethics commission's findings
provide a disturbing account of how absentee ballots -- which played a major role in helping
incumbents win in the recent Miami and Hialeah elections -- are high-jacked by unidentified
vote robbers. The complaint originated with Judith Thompson, a wheel-chair bound Park
Plaza resident who suspected her vote for the Nov. 2, 2010 general election had been stolen.
When she showed up at her precinct on election day a poll worker informed her she could not
cast her ballot because she had already done so by absentee.

The 1997 Miami mayoral race was found to have so much voter fraud that the candidate
initially named the winner served only a few months before the election was reversed and the
opponent was declared the winner. It was determined that convicted felons had voted, nonresidents had filed absentee ballots, people cast votes in others' names, there was vote
buying and illegal assistance. Out of 44,000 total votes, some 5,000 absentee ballots were
cast in the mayoral election. Incumbent Mayor Joe Carollo won 49.6 percent of all votes,
falling 160 votes shy of the 50 percent needed to become mayor.
Instead, Mr. Carollo was forced into a runoff, which was won by his opponent Suarez.
Suarez served as mayor for several months until an appeals court ruled that the first mayoral
election had been tainted by absentee-ballot fraud. The court disqualified all 5,000 absentee
ballots and declared Carollo the winner.

precinct. More than 3,000 votes had been cast in the names of individuals who were dead,
and more than 31,000 individuals had voted twice in different locations in the city. Thousands
of individuals had supposedly voted despite being incarcerated at the time of the election, and
utility records showed that some individuals who voted were registered as living on vacant

is alarming and the common denominators are the ballots were mailed out the same day in

come in a little late but they don't come in all at one time from one street," said Smith.
According to the city clerk's office, in October, 181 absentee ballots were mailed out, 88
were mailed back. Smith says the number is unprecedentedPeople at Winslow Celentano, in

"Someone is designating themselves as the person to collect them to turn them in or send

elections at risk.
Cathy Kelleher, the head of Election Integrity Maryland, said her organization pored over
36,000 names on the states voter rolls in the last two years. In that list, it found more than
1,100 names of people who were deceased but still listed on voter rolls, she said. Election
Integrity Maryland found the names of four people who appeared to have voted when they
were listed as dead, she said. That analysis took place from just 1 percent of the states
voters, she said, meaning that statewide, there could be hundreds of fraudulent votes cast
statewide. She said challenges the group sent to local boards and the State Board of
Elections have been met with silence.

forgery and four counts of absentee ballot fraud, all Class C felonies.
Both women were working for a candidate in the 2012 Phenix City municipal election. Russell County
District Attorney Ken Davis said the fraud came to light when officials discovered duplicate applications
for absentee ballots. Someone apparently was going to intercept the ballots when they were sent out
and vote them.

verified as non-U.S. citizens by federal records (including 10 who had voted), asking them to
contact state election officials to be removed from Michigans voter rolls. After the letter was

After nearly a year in office, Pike County Commissioner Karen Berry was ordered to vacate her District 6
seat to challenger Oren Fannin when a judge ruled that 10 votes were cast illegally for Berry in the
November 2008 election. Berry was originally declared the winner by a six-vote margin, but Fannin
contested the results.
All 10 illegal votes were cast by absentee ballot. Three invalid ballots were stipulated by both parties,
since Carl, Mary and Brandon Kidd cast absentee ballots for Berry but lived outside District 6. Another
three voters - Tiffany Paige Gray, Norman Lyn Gray and Nerita Hinkle - all testified to voting for Fannin
but also lived outside the district. Berry herself also pleaded guilty to charges of voter fraud and perjury
for mailing an illegal absentee ballot.

Former Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum, Kent Hallum, Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone
pleaded* guilty to the conspiracy that helped Hudson Hallum win his seat in the Arkansas House of
Representatives in 2011. Conspiring to commit election fraud in a scheme that included destroying
ballots and exchanging money, alcohol and food for votes. Prosecutors said Hallum and his father,
Kent, tasked campaign workers Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone with obtaining absentee ballot
applications for certain voters and assisting voters in filling out the ballots, while actually completing
absentee ballots in some instances without regard to the voter's actual candidate choice. A total of
nine people were charged by federal and state authorities in connection with the plan. Carter had
used the same absentee ballot fraud strategy in other elections at the state and federal level. Carter
organized others, including Malone, a Quorum Court member, School Board member and police
officer, to participate. Hallum was sentenced to 3 years of probation, including 9 months of home
detention, a $20,000 fine, and 100 hours of community service.

Ricardo Lopez-Munguia, a Mexican who was deported decades ago for drug trafficking, pleaded* guilty
to living illegally in Escondido under a false identity, making a false claim to U.S. citizenship, and
fraudulently voting in the 2008 U.S. presidential election. Lopez-Munguia assumed the identity of

Abra Tina Hill Johnson, a candidate in the 2010 Madison school board election, was charged with 10
counts of felony fraud in connection with casting a vote, and two counts of absentee ballots and voting
violations. Johnson's husband and seven others - the "Madison 9" - were also charged in the scheme,
which involved asking voters to sign Absentee Ballot Request Forms and, without the voters knowledge
or consent, writing an alternate address on the forms, causing the ballots to be mailed to a third party
rather than directly to the voters. In 2010, Florida law required ballots to be sent to a voters registered
address unless the voter was absent from the county, hospitalized, or temporarily unable to occupy their
residence. The Johnsons retrieved the ballots, took them to the voters and waited for them to vote, and
then returned the ballots to the Supervisor of Elections. In some instances, the voters were only
presented with the absentee ballot signature envelope to sign and never received the actual ballot to
cast their vote. Johnson won the election by 28 votes. She and her campaign volunteers were
charged with obtaining about 45 absentee ballots without proper authorization.

Zakee Fur'qan illegally voted multiple times after his civil rights had been revoked because of a past
felony conviction. Fur'qan, who
changed his name from Leon Edward Nelson, was convicted of second- degree murder in Duval County
in 1991. Fur'qan's voting history indicated that he registered as a Democrat on Sept. 2, 2004 and had
voted six times since then, even though his civil rights had not been restored. He was charged with three
counts ofillegally voting in 2014 and 2015. The first trial, in February 2016, ended in a hung jury.
Josef Sever pleaded* guilty to illegally voting in the 2008 general election and to pretending he was a
U.S. citizen when he bought firearms. Sever told authorities that he had voted in at least two elections
and lied about his citizenship when he bought guns at a Miami-Dade store on several occasions. State
records show he was registered No Party Affiliation and cast absentee ballots in November 2004 and
2008.

Eatonville Mayor Anthony Grant, Mia Antionette Nowells, and James Randolph were indicted on 25
felony voter fraud charges for coercing voters and submitting illegally obtained absentee ballots in the
March 2015 mayoral election in which Grant was elected. Following the indictments, the governor
suspended Mayor Grant.
A grand jury found that Grant, Nowells and Randolph solicited an absentee ballot from someone who
didn't live in Eatonville, marked ballots for voters, and forced people to register to vote.
The charges followed a Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigation and a lawsuit filed by his
opponent seeking a new election that also alleged Grant offered bribes and told people he would lower
their rents in exchange for their vote. Orange-Osceola State Attorney Jeff Ashton's office will prosecute
the case.

James Webb Baker Jr. pleaded* guilty to one count of voter intimidation and one count of identification
fraud after admitting to sending about 200 letters a month before the 2012 election to prominent
Florida Republicans in an effort to intimidate them and interfere with their voting rights, according to
the U.S. Attorneys Office plea agreement filed in Tampas U.S. District Court. The letters told recipients
they would be unable to vote unless they could prove American citizenship. The
Florida Division of Elections received reports from 28 counties about the letters that were mailed with a
Seattle postmark dated Oct. 17. Baker admitted that he intended the letters to look as if they were
written by county elections officials and that his purpose in sending the letters was to intimidate the
recipients and interfere with their right to vote.

Description
# Fraudulen
Jeffrey Garcia pleaded* guilty to one felony charge and three misdemeanor charges after admitting he
illegally requested hundreds of absentee ballots while he was running the 2012 primary campaign of
Democrat Rep. Joe Garcia. Garcia was involved in a sophisticated scheme to manipulate primary
elections by submitting hundreds of fraudulent absentee-ballot requests. He also worked on the
campaign of Democrat Patrick Murphy of Jupiter, who unseated Republican congressman Allen West. A
Herald investigation found that hundreds of 2,552 fraudulent requests for the August 14 primaries
originated from Internet Protocol addresses in Miami. The targeted voters in the online scheme were
selected because they were registered but infrequent voters. Filling out the request form and sending
the ballots directly to them or manipulating their ballots in another capacity are both felonies and were
the apparent goals of the plot.

Tiffany Edwards Hunt, a 2014 County Council District 5 candidate, has been charged with voter fraud
for violating Section 19-3.5, Hawaii Revised Statutes, according to the office of the Hawaii County
Prosecuting Attorney.
Edwards Hunt was accused during her race for County Council of using her husbands surf shop address
in Pahoa instead of her home address in Hawaiian Acres over a five-year period from 2008 to 2013. The
two addresses were located in different districts, allowing her the potential to vote in a district race that
was not the one she lived in.
According to the Prosecuting Attorneys office, the charge is alleged to have occurred between Aug. 7,
2012 and Nov. 5, 2012, two years before she ran unsuccessfully for public office.

A voter fraud investigation is underway after a Washington Park, IL voter showed up to cast her ballot
early in the March 2016 primary to find someone had already submitted a mail-in ballot under her
name. We have received credible information that at least four voters attempted to vote early in person
only to find that someone had voted by mail already under his or her name, St. Clair County States
Attorney Brendan Kelly said.
The woman, who was not identified, lives on Warren Avenue in Washington Park. Another voter lived on
Park Avenue in Washington Park, and two other voters reside in the Roosevelt Homes in East St. Louis.
Two voters also have reported being asked to provide blank ballots by individuals in the East St. Louis
area. One voter resides in the Orr- Weathers Apartments and the other in Roosevelt Homes. Kellys office
is investigating the identity of those soliciting the blank ballots.
In addition, states attorneys investigators have confirmed that four applications for mail-in ballots are
invalid because the address listed on the application is of an abandoned house on Forest Boulevard in
Washington Park. The county clerks office has denied the application for those ballots and removed
those registrations from the voter rolls.
The sites are all within the area of two contest primary races: County Board District 2 and Canteen
Precinct 3.

Michelle Chandler, a worker in the city controllers office, was charged as part of a fraud case brought
by the Lake County Joint Voter Task Force that ultimately overturned the result of the 2003 East
Chicago Democratic mayoral primary, with a fraudulent receipt of ballot, voting outside of her district,
and perjury. She was found guilty of 1 count perjury in a jury trial, a felony, and given one year of
probation
Terrance Lay was charged with 10 counts of inducing others to vote outside their home precincts and
conspiracy. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of procuring, but intentionally failing to return
his brother-in-law's ballot in the 2003 primary election.

Monte Murphy, a former Muncie City Councilman, was convicted of 3 felony counts of illegally
receiving absentee ballots. Murphy provided ballots to the individuals, told them how to vote for a
straight Democratic ticket, and then mailed in the ballots for them. The court reduced the convictions
to Class A misdemeanors and sentenced Murphy to consecutive one-year terms, suspended to
probation.
3 conse cutive one-year terms (susp ended t o proba tion)
Charges were filed against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a
multiple-felony case involving the forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008
election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana
ballot. The officials were accused of taking part in a scheme to fake signatures and names on the
primary petitions needed to run for president. The plan was hatched by local Democratic Party officials
inside the local party headquarters. Morgan was accused of being the scheme's mastermind who
ordered the petition fraud. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee, was accused of forging multiple
pages of the Obama petitions. There were meetings at which several people explicitly agreed to forge
petitions for Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards. Page after page of the petitions were
clearly in the same handwriting, but the petitions sailed through the Board of Elections without any
problems, "because election workers in charge of verifying their validity were the same people faking
the signatures." Prosecutors said that in President Obama's case, nine of the petition pages were
apparently forged. Each petition contains up to 10 names, making a possible total of 90 faked names,
which could have brought the Obama total below the legal limit that was required for him to qualify
for the ballot. Morgan was convicted on two counts of felony conspiracy to commit petition fraud and
two counts of felony conspiracy to commit forgery.

Douglas Campbell, the mayor of Austin, was arrested on May 1, 2012. Campbell and Austin resident
Terry Danner were accused of going to at least four homes in 2011 to collect absentee voter ballots.
Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor electioneering. In exchange, prosecutors agreed to dismiss
the felony voter fraud and conspiracy charges.
Detectives investigated allegations that Mayor Douglas Campbell and Terry Danner, a city employee,
violated Indiana Election Law by unlawfully taking custody of absentee voter ballots. According to one
statement, Campbell filled out one of the ballots himself. The person who filed the complaint is
Brandon White, the man who ran against Campbell in the election. According to White's attorney,
almost 50 percent of the ballots cast were absentee, which is out of line with the state average of 14 to
15 percent.
Plea Deal: Sentenced to 1 year, which was suspended except for one d ay whic h he was given credit

A federal grand jury indicted Sullivan County Council member, Max Judson, on four counts related to
election fraud and witness tampering. He was criminally charged after a lengthy federal investigation
prompted by complaints about Sullivan Countys May 2014 primary election. The first three counts of
the indictment state that between March 22, 2014, and May 6, 2014, investigators believe that Judson:
Solicited a voter to complete an absentee ballot application, knowing that the voter was ineligible to
register to vote because the voter lived in another county.
Pre-checked an absentee ballot so that another person voted for someone different than intended.
Received and delivered absentee ballots to voters when he was not authorized to do so. The fourth
count alleges that Judson hindered, delayed or prevented a voter from truthfully talking to an
investigator about Judson and allegations of election fraud. Judson admitted to being present while at
least 15 people filled out their Sullivan County Primary absentee ballots. Judson stated that on nearly
all of these occasions, he either told these voters how they should vote or which bubbles to fill in on
their ballots. Judson admitted that he knew his conduct to be wrong, and that as a candidate he should
not have been involved in the voting process. Judson defeated his primary opponent for county
council by just18 votes and was later elected to office in the general election.

Rising Sun police officer, Lowell Ross Colen, was arested on an arrest warrant containing 13 felony
charges. Colen is accused of influencing individuals to vote in the 2015 Ohio County primary
election. While doing so, investigators say he filled out absentee applications and ballots for people not
eligible to vote in the county. Colen allegedly
forged signatures on some of the applications and ballots and submitted them to the Ohio County
Clerks Office. Police say he was on duty and wearing his uniform while the alleged illegal activity took
place. Colens charges include ghost employment, official misconduct, forgery and voter fraud.
Bryan E. Wolfe, who resigned as the Johnson County Sheriffs Office director of communications, was
charged with voting outside his precinct of residence, a Class D felony. Wolfe could face up to three
years in prison or the charge could be lowered to a misdemeanor.
Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White was convicted of six felonies, including three counts of voter
fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft. The charges were based on accusations that White
lied about where he lived while campaigning for secretary of state. The jury ruled he lied in order to
keep receiving his salary from the Fishers Town Council even though he had moved out of his district.
The Democtrats argue that White is ineligible to serve because he was fraudulently registered to vote at
the wrong address. White said the verdict "was a total miscarriage of justice and a perversion. The law
allows me to do everything I did and the jury did not get all the law."

Tehvedin Murgic registered to vote and cast a ballot in 2010, despite being a felon and not a U.S.
citizen. When confronted in October 2012, Murgic readily admitted to registering and voting. He said
he had not read the section of the voter registration form that includes the affirmations of citizenship
and criminal records. But, he added, an election official told him he was eligible despite his
citizenship status as long as he didnt vote for president (a race not on the ballot in 2010).
The election official later disputed that account when contacted by investigators. Murgic was charged
with felonious election misconduct for registering and voting in the 2010 election and with fraudulent
practices, a misdemeanor, for making false statements on his voter registration form. Ultimately, he
pleaded guilty to a lesser misdemeanor election misconduct charge and a trespassing charge, and he
was fined about $1,300.
Plea de al: Pleade d guilty to a lesser misdem eanor e lection misconduct charge and a t respassi ng

people seeking to sell their votes in the back room of a local store. "They would go into the machine
and cast their vote...They were supposed to vote for me. They would come back to me and I would pay
them for going to vote. Salyers says vote buying has been so blatant that, "you used to be able to go
behind the voting machine with voters, to make sure that if you bought their vote, that they would vote
the way you wanted to."

did that money come from?" U.S. Assistant Attorney Stephen C. Smith asked. "From drug dealing I
made," Lawson testified. He said he gave the sheriff about $20,000 for his race, in exchange for
protection. In court, Smith described how Clay County public officials were "working to protect drug

one of the most successful drug trafficking businesses in the whole entire region. Day admitted on the
stand to selling tons of marijuana and hundreds of thousands of dollars of cocaine every other week.
He also dealt in votes. "I bought my first vote with half a pint of liquor," Day testified. He described how
that mushroomed to a seemingly routine method to buy protection from politicians and win their
elections. He said he even bought votes for the sheriff. "That showed people on the ground who had
the power and who had the money to buy the votes," Day testified. "As time went on, $5 a vote, $10 a
vote. I have paid as high as $800 a vote. ... Election after election, day in and day out, every election I
ever worked, it went on." Day was not only an admitted drug trafficker, but he also had served as the

voters used false addresses from deceased citizens and abandoned houses to illegally register and vote,
and accused Woods of having election workers for her campaign working inside the voting polls,
wearing t- shirts with the name Juanita Woods displayed and passing out campaign pamphlets. Both
candidates are Democrats.
On May 4, 2016, a judge ruled that Woods failed to present adequate proof that the voters she

due to alienage. In August 2013, Slicher was discovered by ERO officers to be a foreign national on
the Maryland Sex Offender Registry. In September 2013, ERO officers asked Slicher about his
citizenship. Slicher falsely claimed to be a U.S.
citizen and presented the forged naturalization certificate as proof, along with his fraudulently obtained
U.S. passport. After it was determined that the documents were forged, ERO officers arrested him for
being in violation of U.S. immigration law. During questioning it was discovered that Slicher was
collecting Medicare, social security benefits and had been actively voting. According to his plea
agreement, Slicher is a citizen and national of Netherlands, who entered the United States in 1967 on
a visitor visa. He was later given a work visa, which expired in 1969. Slicher applied for a permanent
work visa, but was denied.
Nevertheless, Slicher did not leave the United States and has been unlawfully present ever since. In

Mark Evangelous, a candidate for councilor-at-large in the 2011 Marlborough city election, was
indicted in February 2012 on voter fraud charges for submitting a fraudulent absentee ballot
application in the name of a deceased voter. A grand jury returned a true bill indicting Evangelous,
age 51, with charges of forgery, uttering and violating absentee voting laws. He has also been charged
with lying to the police during an investigation of the allegations. The charges relate to a fraudulent
absentee ballot application that was submitted to the City Clerk's office by Evangelous, on the Friday
before the November 1, 2011 election, for a person he said was his aunt. The clerk's office subsequently
determined the woman was deceased. In November 2012, after Evangelous admitted to sufficient
facts, a Middlesex Superior Court judge continued the case without a finding, placing Evangelous on
probation for a year and assigning 200 hours of community service, after which the forgery and uttering

Minnesota Majority dentified 1,099 ineligible felons who voted in the November 2008 U.S. Senate
election, which was eventually decided by 312 votes, by comparing criminal records with voting rolls.
Minnesota Majority took the information to prosecutors across the state. Many were not interested in
pursuing the cases, but Minnesota law requires authorities to investigate such leads. As of 2012, 177
ineligible felon voters had been convicted of voting fraudulently in the Senate race, and another 66
were awaiting trial. Many of the ineligible felons avoided conviction by saying they didn't 'knowingly'
vote unlawfully. While some ineligible felon voters registered in advance of the election and should
have been flagged for challenge, the overwhelming majority who
evaded detection used Election Day Registration, which currently has no mechanism to detect or
prevent ineligible voters.

Margaret Schneider was charged by the Nicollet County Attorneys Office with a felony for voting twice
during the 2012 primary
election. She voted once with an absentee ballot on July 13 and again at her polling place August
14. Schneider, who was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease and dementia, said she walked to the
polling place to vote on her own and didnt remember she had already voted absentee. Investigators
found the letters A.B. next to Schneiders
name in the voter roster book, indicating that an absentee ballot already had been cast, causing
officials to question why the election judge allowed Schneider to sign the book and vote again. All
parties agreed to pre-trial intervention, allowing the charge to be dismissed after no further infractions

Ike Brown, along with the Noxubee County Democratic Executive Committee which he chaired starting
in 2000 and the Noxubee County Election Commission, were found to have violated Section 2 of the
Voting Rights Act by systematically and intentionally disenfranchising white voters. The U.S. proved
that Brown and his co-defendants rigged the Democratic primary voting process against white voters by
manipulating voter rolls, tampering with absentee ballots, making threats to ban some whites from
voting, miscounting ballots to ensure white candidates lost, and committing other discriminatory acts.
The landmark case marked the first time the federal government used the 1965 Voting Rights Act to
protect the rights of white voters.
When violations continued during the August 2007 Democratic primary, the court appointed a RefereeAdministrator to organize the countys Democratic primary elections until November 20, 2011; limited
the role that defendants could play in supervising future primary elections; and directed poll managers
to apply Mississippis election laws in counting ballots and preventing improper voter assistance. The
2007 ruling and remedial order were affirmed by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in 2009.

Lessadolla Sowers, a Tunica County NAACP executive committee member, was found guilty of
fraudulently casting 10 absentee ballots; 21 additional counts were dropped for various reasons. Sowers
was found guilty of voting in the names of Carrie Collins, Walter Howard,
Sheena Shelton, Alberta Pickett, Draper Cotton and Eddie Davis; and in the names of four dead
persons: James L. Young, Dora Price, Dorothy Harris, and David Ross.
Mississippi Bureau of Investigations officers seized ballot boxes from the Tunica County Courthouse the
evening of the Aug. 7, 2007, primary elections. Seventeen absentee ballots pulled from sealed ballot
boxes listed the Sowers' post office box address. Eight Tunica County residents testified at trial that they
did not sign the applications or absentee ballots cast in their names and showing Sowers' P.O. box. A
forensic scientist identified Sowers DNA on the inner seals of five envelopes containing absentee
ballots.
Sowers received a five-year prison term for each of the 10 counts, to be served concurrently.

The 2013 election for Ward 1 alderman in Canton was sent back to the voters after a Circuit Court judge
ruled Tuesday that illegal voting and voter intimidation occurred in the May Democratic primary.
Judge Forrest Johnson Jr. of Natchez said the will of the voters could not be determined through the
May 7 ballot box. He ordered the election results for Ward 1 alderman be tossed and a new election
called while allowing Rodriquez Brown, who won the June 4 election, to remain in office. Whether one
agrees or disagrees, the evidence I heard is disturbing to say the least, said Johnson, who was
appointed to hear the case by the Mississippi Supreme Court. For poll workers to endure what Ive heard
is not right.
The five members of the Madison County Election Commission, who were requested to sit in on the
hearing at Johnsons request as technical advisers on elections, agreed with the judges ruling.
Ray Rosamond filed the court challenge after losing to Brown by four votes in the Democratic primary.
Johnson ruled that Kimberly Readus, a member of the Canton Democratic Municipal Executive
Committee, used profanity and bullying tactics to create a breach of the peace, intimidate voters and
poll workers to disrupt the election process. After listening to testimony from poll workers and poll
watchers in the Ward 1 precinct, Johnson also found that Readus wrongly allowed voters, who should
have voted by a paper affidavit ballot which could have been challenged later to use the
electronic voting machines. In one instance, he said, contrary to law Readus also tore up an affidavit
ballot. Johnson said that four or more of affidavit ballots the votes of those whose names are not on
the poll book were undocumented and should not have been counted.
The court finds it clearly appears that Kimberly Readus willfully and corruptly violated election law,
Johnson said. While the judge declined to issue an arrest warrant from the bench for Readus, who no
longer is a member of the municipal committee, Johnson directed the offices of the Madison County
district attorney and the state attorney general to present charges against her to the next grand jury.
Election consultant Pete Perry, the chairman of the Hinds County Republican Party, testified that he
saw Brown campaigning inside the boundaries required by state law, challenges to absentee or affidavit
votes not being accepted, and tabulations not equaling the number of votes cast.

Cobby Williams was sentenced to five (5) years in prison for his participation in knowingly registering a

the intent of registering her to vote in the May election. Walker informed Williams she was a convicted
felon and not eligible to vote. Despite knowing this, Williams insisted Walker fill out voter registrations
forms.
Williams took the forms and turned them in to the Madison County Circuit Clerks Office for the

and not eligible to vote, the District Attorneys Office began an investigation. Upon questioning, Walker
admitted she filled out the forms but they were turned in by Williams. Subsequent investigation
confirmed Williams had turned in the forms, knowing Walker was not eligible to vote, in violation of 2315-17, False Registration of Another.
A Madison County Grand Jury indicted Williams in October, 2013, charging him with one (1) count of

In the June 4, 2013 election for Hattiesburg Mayor, Dave Ware finished 37 votes behind incumbent
Johnny DuPree. But that result was marred by a total breakdown in the absentee balloting process and
shocking instances of illegal voting. Hundreds of absentee ballots failed to comply with mandatory
provisions of Mississippi law. They were counted anyway, giving DuPree well more than his margin of
victory. The evidence showed improper influence of absentee voters and lax security and
recordkeeping for absentee ballots. One ballot cast by a Ware supporter simply disappeared. A 17year-old voted absentee from the county jail. A curbside voter at the Dixie Pine precinct (someone too
disabled to enter the polling place but who voted in person from his vehicle, with help from the poll
managers) was actually a healthy 22- year-old man who was in San Antonio, Texas on Election Day.
He did not vote, but someone else voted in his name. Disenfranchised felons voted, even though their
prior crimes made them ineligible. Sheriffs personnel carried one of those voters from jail to vote in
person on June
4. At least four ineligible felons voted.
The trial itself involved allegations of witness intimidation, jury retaliation, and a 9-3 verdict for Ware
that somehow devolved into a deadlocked 8-4 vote.

In February 2016, the Mississippi Attorney General's Office took over the prosecution in a voting fraud
case filed against five Franklin County pollworkers charged with election fraud during the Nov. 3, 2015
general election at the Bude precinct. Circuit Judge Forrest Al Johnson issued the warrants for their
arrests.
Ann Reed of Meadville, Margie McNair of Bude, and Dona Jones of Meadville were charged with
violating a state elections law forbidding dishonest decisions by managers of polling places
concerning qualifications of voters. The women allegedly did not check voter qualifications. State law
says if an election manager knowingly permits an unqualified person to vote or prohibits a qualified
person from voting, the manager may face jail time of up to three months, a fine of up to
$200 or both.
Anita Leonard and Carl Cupit, both Republican Party poll observers at the precinct, filed the charges on
Nov. 13. Leonard said she saw pollworkers going beyond what is allowed in helping voters and alleged
that the pollworkers werent properly checking voters identification.
Sen. Melanie Sojourner, R-Natchez, contested her close loss to former Sen. Bob Dearing in the Senate

Republican Senator Melanie Sojourner lost the November 2015 state Senate District 37 election by 64
votes to former Democratic Senator Bob Dearing. She charged in her petition that she lost due to
criminal fraud. A poll watcher and former bailiff (for August primary) filed
criminal charges against four poll workers and an election commissioner who worked the Bude Precinct
during the November 3 election. She lost the precinct by 242 votes. She claims approximately 90
"improper and illegal actions" took place at that precinct, including:
*Illegally offering voter assistance to those who didn't request it or weren't disabled.
*poll workers illegally attempting to "aid or influence voters"
*poll workers "illegally violating the secrecy of the ballot"
*poll workers illegally entering the polling booth alone with voters

John and Clara Moretina, aunt and uncle of Democrat State Rep. J.J. Rizzo, pleaded* guilty to voter
fraud - one count each of state misdemeanor charges of Committing Class Three Election Offenses - in
Jackson County. According to County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker, they willfully provided to Kansas
City Board of Election officials false information as to their addresses and residences in order to vote.
The Moretinas admitted they attempted to cast an improper ballot in the Aug. 3, 2010, Missouri House
primary in the 40th district. Rizzo won the primary by one vote.
Kansas City Police Department detectives began to investigate voter fraud allegations after John C.
Moretina pleaded* guilty in U.S. District Court to voter fraud by registering to vote on or about July 9,
2010, using a false address. Moretina, who actually resided in Gladstone in Clay County, voted in the
40th District primary in Jackson County on Aug. 3, 2010, using the false address. The Moretinas told an

Secretary of State Jason Kander turned its investigative findings over to Boone County law enforcement

alone, including those of deceased individuals. Investigators allege that Hayes submitted petitions
with 363 signatures from Boone County, including names of deceased individuals and three people
who when contacted said they hadn't signed the petition. Hayes collected signatures on behalf of
Buzzard Bay Strategies, which paid bonuses to those collecting the most signatures.

Abigail R. Palmer was charged with a class one election offense (felony voter fraud), for voting twice in
the April 2015 election. According to documents Greene County Clerk's office provided to the Sheriff's
office, on April 7, Palmer voted at the Remington's Event Center, the proper polling site for the home
address she had given to election officials.
About an hour later, Palmer voted again, at the polling site at King's Way United Methodist Church. At
this polling place she gave a different address that would allow her to vote at the church.
Palmer told a Greene County sheriff's deputy she did not believe both of her votes would count toward
the election. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

invited tampering with ballots, voter intimidation at certain polling places, and unlawful electioneering.
The St. Louis Election Board referred the case to local and federal prosecutors for investigation.

Reig istra tion fraud
In 2011, Nevada District Court Judge Donald Mosley gave ACORN, the defunct grass-roots community
organization, the maximum fine of
$5,000 for its illegal voter-registration scheme in that state during the 2008 presidential election.
Mosley, reading the pre-sentence report, listed a series of voter registration fraud allegations against
ACORN workers.
ACORN pleaded* guilty to one felony count of unlawful compensation for registration of voters,
stemming from an illegal voter registration scheme in its Las Vegas office during in the 2008 race. The
group paid a bonus to workers to sign up 21 or more voters per shift, calling the program "21," or
"Blackjack." It is illegal in Nevada to pay bonuses to register voters.
ACORN's Nevada field director, Christopher Edwards, had previously pleaded* guilty, cooperated with
prosecutors, and testified against the organization in court.
In October 2012, the Nevada Supreme Court accepted on appeal from an earlier conviction and Alford
plea* to two counts of conspiracy to commit the crime of compensation for registration of voters from
ACORN'S regional director, Amy Busefink, who also worked for the nationwide group Project Vote. She
was sentenced to probation.

Tina Marie Parks was charged with 11 felony counts for falsifiying party affiliations while registering
voters on behalf of Engagae Nevada before the June 2016 Nevada primary. Parks was charged with four
counts of perjury for allegedly signing four registration forms for herself on which she attests she had no
felony conviction or other loss of civil rights that would make it unlawful for her to vote.
The other charges include two counts of attempted intimidation of voters; one count of intimidation of
voters; three counts of acts concerning registration of voters for allegedly falsifying registrations; and
one count of prohibited acts of employees of voter registration agencies.
Lorin C. Schneider Jr., who lives in Carver, Mass., pleaded* guilty in Hillsborough County Superior
Court, Northern District, to one felony and two misdemeanor charges of wrongful voting in violation of
state law.
Schneider illegally voted in the Ward 9 polling place in Manchester on Nov. 6, 2012, during the
presidential election; in the 2012 presidential primary election, when he took a Democratic ballot; and
in Ward 9 during the 2008 presidential election. By law, a voter may only vote in the town, ward or
unincorporated place in which he or she is domiciled. Schneider was given a 1-to 3-year state prison
sentence, all suspended for five years on the condition of good behavior. He also must pay a
$5,000 fine, plus a 24% penalty assessment, and loses his right to vote in New Hampshire, even if he is
qualified, pursuant to the state constitution.
Assistant Attorney General Stephen G. LaBonte said Schneider voted only in New Hampshire in
presidential election years -- and not in Massachusetts -- and did not vote here in mid-term elections.
Authorities said someone recognized Schneider and knew he had moved away from Manchester more
than 20 years ago. The city clerk's office provided investigators with documentation showing he was
registered to vote in Ward 9 and that his name was crossed on the voter checklist on election day. He
was registered as a Democrat, with an address of 58 Brunelle Ave. attached to his name on city voter
registration records.

containing the returned ballot.
To avoid criminal prosecution, Sullivan accepted an offer* by the Attorney General to settle the case
by paying a fine as a civil penalty for her actions and signing a consent agreement.

years probation. The Attorney General's Office sought three years in prison, consistent with a plea
bargain that had been struck, and the appellate court agreed, saying the crime required Colon to serve
prison time. The standard is five to 10 years in prison. "Justice demanded that Colon serve a state prison

Spencer Robbins, a municipal judge in Woodbridge, Sayreville and South Plainfield, was charged in
2013 with two counts of third-degree voter fraud for voting in two 2010 elections in Woodbridge, where
he had a law office, rather than in Chatham, where he lived. Robbins was a resident of Chatham when
he voted in a Woodbridge school election on April 20, 2010, and in a general election in Woodbridge
on November 2, 2010.
The Middlesex County Board of Elections ruled in 2011 that Robbins, a registered Democrat, had been
improperly voting in Woodbridge, using his Amboy Avenue legal office as his address. A month earler, a
Home News Tribune investigation found that Robbins had voted in 22 elections and Democratic
primaries in Woodbridge since 1998, even though he his home was in Chatham Township since 1995.
The court accepted Robbins into Pre-Trial Intervention.

The re-election campaign of Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah Healy accused rival City Councilman Steve
Fulops campaign of sending out mail-in ballot applications that use a Fulop P.O. box, not the Hudson
County clerk, as a return address.
Fulop is attempting to trick people into sending their ballots to the wrong place in order to suppress the
vote in Ward F a ward Fulop knows he will lose, says Jermaine Robinson, Healys Ward F council
hopeful.
New Jerseys administrative code reads that the return address on mail- in ballot applications shall not
be altered or changed by any person or entity. Fulops campaign insists it has the legal right to send out
the applications with its address on it. A state Division of Elections spokesman referred comment to
Hudson County Clerk Barbara Netchert. The state Election Law Enforcement Commission declined to
comment. Netchert responded with a statement that she issued on Friday urging voters to use the
countys official application for mail-in ballots.

Candidates Michael Strumolo and Vincent Ferrara each filed petitions with Superior Court Assignment
Judge Thomas Weisenbeck in Morristown contesting the results of the June 4, 2013 Parsippany Town
Council primary, which named Robert Peluso and Louis Valori as winners. Several witnesses testified
that County Clerk candidate James Vigilante gave them mail-in ballots to certify, or sign and turn in.
Each of the people testified that Vigilante gave them a stack of votes, and that they never met any of
the voters. Strumolo's attorney Brian Aloia told the court that Vigilante could have distributed as many
as 50 votes in that fashion.
Election laws prohibit candidates from handling mail-in ballots and also require that a mail-in ballot
submitted on behalf of another voter must be signed by whoever submits it. The person submitting the
ballot also must have received it directly from the voter.
Ferrara said in his petition that enough illegal votes were accepted to change the outcome of the
election. His petition cites the names of three people who allegedly voted twice by mail-in ballot and
the names of 71 other people he believes improperly cast mail-in ballots. The 77
illegal votes that were received ... were sufficient to change the outcome of the election. As a result,
the will of the electorate either is not discernible or has been frustrated by the widespread acceptance
of illegal and/or fraudulent votes,
Judge dism issed the challe nge, bu t said there was "significan t cause for concern " about the conduct
of James Vigila nte. Three women testi fied tha t Vigilante called them to his hom e office to pick up
and sign for ma il-in bal lots that he had the re, and later drove them to the board of el ections office to
deli ver the ballots. Und er st ate election law, cand idates are n ot

A Superior Court judge threw out the November 2014 election results for a Perth Amboy City Council
seat, ordering a new election after finding that the city's Democratic chairwoman took advantage of
elderly nursing home residents. The judge threw out 13 ballots; the margin of victory was just 10 votes.
Among the residents whose mail-in ballots
were thrown out by Judge Heidi Currier was a blind man, a resident who couldn't recall either her
address or having voted, and others who testified that Leslie Dominguez-Rodriguez coerced them into
voting for her husband, a candidate for Board of Education. The Democratic Organization

Two voters in the heavily contested Paterson 6th Ward election, Osvaldo Santiago and Wendy Arvelo,
alleged that an unknown man connected to the Al Abdelaziz campaign marked a candidate on their
ballots and picked up their mail-in ballots from their homes, according to sworn statements submitted to
the Passaic County election officials.
Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman sued for a recount of the May 2016 Paterson council 2nd Ward election,
which challenger Shahin Khalique won by just 19 votes, 1,400 to 1,381. Khalique had 1,009 mail-in
votes while Akhtaruzzaman had 523. The number of mail ballots issued in the 2nd Ward almost doubled
the total for the rest of the five wards combined. The recount increased Khalique's lead by one vote, to
20.
Passaic County Superintendent of Elections Sherine El-Abd investigated allegations of mail-in voter
fraud in the election and at the recount told the County Board of Elections her investigation uncovered
seven confirmed incidents of mail-in voters who cast ballots but were not eligible to vote in the 2nd
Ward. She said a minimum of 60 ballots were under question. Akhtaruzzamans campaign flagged 65
mail ballots as invalid. Allegations that voters received gifts for filling ballots were also referred to
prosecutors.
New Mexico state legislator Rep. Idalia Lechuga-Tena admitted that she committed voter fraud, casting
ballots before she became a naturalized
U.S. citizen. According to the voting records obtained through the County Clerk, Lechuga-Tena first
voted in an Albuquerque election in 2003 when she was 20, when she was not a citizen, and again in a
2014 Democratic primary election after becoming a citizen. Lechuga- Tena said that when she was 18,
a group registered her to vote while she was at the University of New Mexico and that she didnt know at
the time that she had to be a U.S. citizen in order to vote. I was a complete victim of the process, she
said. The case was referred to the district attorney in Bernalillo County in 2015, but the statute of
limitations appeared to have expired.
Lechuga-Tena also faced questions whether she actually lives within the district she represents.
County records show that in 2007, Lechuga- Tena registered at an address within District 19,
represented by state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque. In December 2014 Lechuga-Tena
submitted a voter registration card with a new address within House District 21, but with a mailing
address the same as her previous residence. The registration card she submitted was dated December 5,
almost ten days before the County Commission appointed Maez. Two months later, Lechuga-Tena filed
a new registration card with an address back in House District 19. In November 2015, she submitted a
registration card with the same House District 21 address.

Former Municipal Judge Horacio Favela was convicted in August 2009 of falsely declaring himself a
resident of Sunland Park, New Mexico in 2008 so he could run for judge, falsifying a document that
declared him a qualified voter, and voting twice in the 2004 general election once in El Paso,
Texas (where he was a resident) and once in Doa Ana County. Favela was sentenced to 18 months'
probation. His wife was also convicted.

31 people responsible for collecting signatures to get Democrat Jacob Candelaria on the June 2012
ballot were named in a criminal investigation, accused of falsifying voter records and voter fraud. The
Candelaria campaign said the suspects are former canvassers for a company called "Southwest
Political Services". That company was paid by Candelaria's campaign to gather the needed 75
signatures to get his name on the ballot for the District 26 State Senate seat.
A number of voters say they never signed the petition and that their signature was forged. At one
household, a man found his name on the petition twice with two different style signatures and also
found his wife's signature. "She never signed at all." Another voter said more of the same. "Not even
the print is her handwriting," a woman said of what was supposedly her mother's signature. "And that is
not even how you spell her name." At another address, a woman said the voter listed on the petition
moved out years ago.
The Bernalillo County District Attorney's Office said it was reviewing the case, and complaints were also
files with the Secretary of State's Office and with state police concerning the forged signatures.
Petition challenge dismissed

A New Mexico man has registered his 3-year-old black Labrador, Buddy, to vote. "I made up a birth
date [for Buddy], and I made up a social security number . . . and I had a voter registration card in my
hand for Buddy two weeks later." The man, a registered Republican, said he wanted to demonstrate
how easy it is to commit voter fraud: "Somebody should have verified this information" and taken a look
at exactly who (or what) was registering. . . The Clerk's Office said the state doesn't require counties to
verify social security numbers, dates of birth, or even names
New Mexico's Secretary of State and Dona Ana County's District Attorney filed an emergency petition to
enjoin Sunland Park's City Clerk from conducting the March 6, 2012 municipal election, due to reports
of multiple cases of voter fraud. Thirteen individuals are registered to vote at one residence in Sunland
Park, including six who registered between Jan. 5 and Feb. 7 of this year. Eight of them, including five
who have already voted, dont actually live in Sunland Park. More than one appears to also be
registered to vote in El Paso. One woman helped several others who arent Sunland Park residents
register to vote. Some of them have voted.
Petition denied
Former Sunland Park city councilor Silvia Gomez pleaded* guilty to three counts of false voting in the
courtroom of 3rd Judicial District Judge Fernando Macias. Gomez had been charged with a dozen
felony counts for inducing non-residents to vote in the March 2012 Sunland Park elections. 13 people
listed Gomez's address as their own when they registered to vote in the city between Jan. 5 and Feb. 7,
2012. Six of them voted early in person or by absentee ballot. Police documents said Gomez registered
a Texas couple using her Sunland Park address and asked them to vote for mayoral candidate Daniel
Salinas.
In exchange for her plea, the district attorney's office dismissed remaining charges, prosecutor Jose
Arguello said. Gomez's sentence: three years probation, plus $4,500 in fines and an order forbidding her
from registering voters in the future. Macias suspended what amounted to a three-year prison sentence.
Gomez is at least the fifth defendant from the more than 20 allegedly involved with widespread
Sunland Park voter corruption to reach resolution. Most have entered plea agreements.

Clement Campana, Troy City Council President, was indicted on five felonies and one misdemeanor
for his allegedly defrauding voters during the 2009 Working Families Party primary. Campana was
charged with four felony counts of illegal voting, one felony count of falsifying business records in the
first degree as well as one count of conspiracy
to promote or prevent election, a misdemeanor. He pled* not guilty to all charges in front of Judge
George Pulver.
The indictment states that Campana worked with other Democrats to conspire to help candidates win
the primary. Many of the allegations involve talking voters into accepting and signing absentee ballot
applications, and then filling in the rest of the application with fraudulent information like why the voter
couldn't vote and then filing them with the Board of Elections. Campana turned down a deal that would
have required him to plead guilty to a misdemeanor and serve 60 days of house arrest, said his attorney
E. Stewart Jones,
Three others pleaded guilty to felonies for their role in the scandal, including Councilman John Brown,
who will likely spend six months in jail.

Troy City Councilman Kevin McGrath and Rensselaer County Working Families Party County Chairman
Jim Welch testified before a special county grand jury investigating absentee-ballot fraud about
allegations that voters' signatures were forged on absentee ballots and ballot applications for the
September 2009 WFP primary. It's alleged that nine Democratic officials and party workers forged the
ballot applications and ballots of voters, many of whom lived in city public housing.
The inquiry resulted in the guilty plea of former City Clerk William McInerney and indictment of
Councilman Michael LoPorto and County Democratic Elections Commissioner Edward McDonough.
McInerney admitted forging a ballot and has agreed to cooperate with Special Prosecutor Trey Smith's
investigation as part of a plea deal. LoPorto and McDonough were indicted by a grand jury in January
2011 on 116 counts of forgery and possessing forged documents.
McDonough, LoPorto and McInerney are among nine Democrats identified as persons of interest in the
investigation. McGrath also was identified but he has agreed to cooperate with the investigation.The
other five are Council President Clement Campana, Councilmen Gary Galuski and John Brown, and
party operatives Dan Brown, the councilman's brother, and Anthony DeFiglio, a former Troy Housing

Voter intimidation/
Hector Ramirez, who ran for NY State Assembly in 2014, was arrested and charged with 242 counts of
voter fraud for going door-to-door in his west Bronx district duping voters into letting his campaign staff
vote on their behalf.
Victim after victim after victim testified to the grand jury that members of the Ramirez campaign
knocked on their door, including Hector Ramirez himself, and said Hey, you dont have to go to the
polls for this election, just sign here, Assistant District Attorney Pishoy Yacoub said in Bronx Supreme
Court. Ramirez's staff tricked citizens in the 86th District into authorizing Ramirez aides to hand in their
absentee ballots to the Board of Elections. Prosecutors found the names of Ramirez staffers in the
box marked "I authorize" on dozens of the duped voters' applications for an absentee ballot, and those
voters never got their ballots back.
Ramirez marked down at least 35 of the ballots as votes for himself in the Democratic primary against
incumbent Victor Pichardo. Campaign aide Ana Cuevas was also charged in connection with the
alleged scheme.
Ramirez edged out Pichardo by 11 votes in the original count out of just over 3,517 total tallies in
the largely poor district but ended up losing by two votes after a hand recount.

New Mexico state legislator Rep. Idalia Lechuga-Tena admitted that she committed voter fraud, casting
ballots before she became a naturalized
U.S. citizen. According to the voting records obtained through the County Clerk, Lechuga-Tena first
voted in an Albuquerque election in 2003 when she was 20, when she was not a citizen, and again in a
2014 Democratic primary election after becoming a citizen. Lechuga- Tena said that when she was 18,
a group registered her to vote while she was at the University of New Mexico and that she didnt know at
the time that she had to be a U.S. citizen in order to vote. I was a complete victim of the process, she
said. The case was referred to the district attorney in Bernalillo County in 2015, but the statute of
limitations appeared to have expired.
Lechuga-Tena also faced questions whether she actually lives within the district she represents.
County records show that in 2007, Lechuga- Tena registered at an address within District 19,
represented by state Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton, D-Albuquerque. In December 2014 Lechuga-Tena
submitted a voter registration card with a new address within House District 21, but with a mailing
address the same as her previous residence. The registration card she submitted was dated December 5,
almost ten days before the County Commission appointed Maez. Two months later, Lechuga-Tena filed
a new registration card with an address back in House District 19. In November 2015, she submitted a
registration card with the same House District 21 address.

The Rio Arriba County Clerks office confirmed a case of impersonation voter fraud in the November
2014 general election involving an imposter who voted by providing the name and address of an
eligible voter.
County election staff detected the fraud when the actual voter arrived to vote at the Health Commons
Clinic in Espaola and was told someone else had cast a ballot under his name three days earlier. The
man told poll workers he hadnt voted, and officials were able to confirm that the signature on the
original ballot did not match the legal voters signature on file.
The evidence collected showed that a crime occurred, not a mistake or misunderstanding. Poll
workers allowed the man to vote on a provisional ballot. Elections officials have no legal means of
actually verifying signatures or confirming identification of a voter.
Bobbi Shearer of the Secretary of States office said that "under current law there are no means
available to poll workers to help them determine if a voter is actually the person he says he is. Shearer
said the fraudulent voters vote had already gone through a tabulator and could not be identified or
separated from the legitimate ballots in the machine.
Dyon Herrera was charged with felony voter fraud in the Espanola, NM city election on March 1, 2016,
for forging signatures on two absentee ballots belonging to his grandparents and one absentee ballot
application. The election was decided by just two votes. The charges filed in June in Magistrate Court
were dismissed July 20 without prejudice, and the AG's dismissal notice indicated criminal charges will
be refiled at a later time.
The District Attorney forwarded the absentee applications and voter oath documents to the State Police
after hearing in-person early voting precinct judge Therisa Aguilar's account of the alleged fraud she
witnessed one of Councilor Robert Seedss campaign volunteers commit. The alleged fraud was set in
motion by Councilor Seedss wife, Laura Seeds, after she reportedly took a call on Herrera's cell phone
from Herreras grandmother Leona Herrera, wanting to know if something could be done about the
absentee ballots her husband LeeRoy Herrera mistook for junk mail and ripped up. Herrera was
supposed to return the repaired ballots to his grandparents house, but Herrera returned immediately with
the two absentee ballots allegedly voted and signed by his grandparents. The signatures on both of the
voter oath cards were identical and very different from the ones on the absentee applications the
couple reportedly submitted ahead of receiving the ballots. Under the advisement of state election
officials and City Attorney Frank Coppler, the suspicious ballots were set aside and not counted.
The third allegation of voter fraud also happened during early in-person voting. In that case, Laura
Seeds was apparently assisting a voter, Daysi Lopez, who was also picking up absentee ballots for her
four siblings. However, election officials realized one of the applications lacked a signature, which
means she would not be given a ballot for the application unless it was signed. Laura Seeds and crew
quickly informed Aguilar that the owner of the unsigned application was in the car. Seeds reportedly
asked Dyon Herrera to go out to the car and have the owner of the application, Ben Lopez, sign the
document. Herrera returned with the signed document, but it appeared to election officials that Ben
Lopez wasnt present, and the signature on that voter oath document was similar to the signatures on the
oath cards reportedly belonging to Dyon Herreras grandparents.
Voter fraud is a fourth-degree felony and if charged and convicted, Herrera could face an 18-month
prison sentence on all three counts.

Anthony DeFiglio, a Democratic political operative who used to work for the Troy Housing Authority
where much of the fraud occurred, claimed the process of ballot forgery was simply a normal political
tactic and an accepted way of winning elections. DeFiglio pleaded* guilty to first- degree falsifying
business records in connection with the 2009 Working Families Party primary in Troy, NY. The WFP
was founded by key members of ACORN, and shares many of its political strategies. The WFP has listed
ACORN as an affiliate program directly on their Web site. DeFiglio was identified as being one of three
men who convinced two mentally disabled men to sign absentee ballots which were later filled in for
them.
DeFiglio was ordered to stay out of trouble for three years and complete 100 hours of community
service.

John Brown, a former Troy City Councilman, faced the prospect of seven years in jail for his role in
ballot forgeries related to the 2009 Working Families Party primary. A plea* deal sought to reduce
those charges in exchange for his cooperation. Brown, with his attorney Jennifer C. Zegarelli, pled to
felony possession of a forged instrument -- the absentee ballot for David Daniel.
When the investigation into the Democrats' activities started to heat up, Brown concocted a scheme in
which he tried to convince WFP members to put out a press release blaming the entire scandal on
former city DPW Commissioner Bob Mirch, a Republican. Brown was sentenced to six months in jail.
There were at least two instances of outright voter fraud in Dutchess County in November 2012 one
in the city of Poughkeepise and another in Pleasant Valley where a voter went to vote only to find
someone had forged that persons name and voted in their stead. Both instances were referred to the
Dutchess County Sheriffs Office for investigation.

incumbent board president Betty Cross and challenged by Maribel Toure, NY State Education

Challenger Tour accused Cross and her supporters of fraudulent and improper activity during the
election, including voter intimidation and voter fraud, coercion and abuse of the absentee balloting
process.
Roger Tilles, who represented Long Island on the Board of Regents, said King had to throw out results
for the contested seat because it was impossible to determine which of the absentee ballots cast for
Cross and Tour were valid.
Tour had 712 votes on election night, compared with Cross' 691. The next day, dozens of contested
absentee ballots were included in the totals, putting Cross ahead by six votes, beating Tour 719 to
713.

The 2013 special election for a Bronx Assembly seat where just 72 votes separated the two top
finishers was mired with fraud that included the winning candidates mom working at a poll site where
at least one machine wouldnt even allow people to vote for the challengers. As a result, Hector
Ramirez, who lost narrowly to Victor Pichardo in the primary, urged the governors Office and federal
authorities to look into why there were no levers next to his name and several other vanquished
candidates on several other machines at other locations when voters went to the polls.
Ramirez was one of seven candidates vying for disgraced Assemblyman Nelson Castros seat. Another
candidate, Haile Rivera, who lost by 310 votes, said his poll watchers caught Pichardos mother, Luisa
Duran, working a table at Public School 33 on Jerome Ave. a polling place known for having one of
the highest voter turnouts.
Pichardo admitted that his mother was a poll worker a violation of New York State law but insisted
everything was on the up and up.

Fran Knapp, former Dutchess County Democratic Elections Commissioner, pleaded* guilty to two
misdemeanor charges of the unauthorized signing of a poll watchers certificate in 2012 and falsifying a
treasurers report for her husband Fred Knapps 2007 Poughkeepsie mayoral campaign. Knapp faced
41 felony counts of misconduct by an elections official and 41 misdemeanor counts of official
misconduct for allegedly changing the designated agent to receive absentee ballots of 41 individuals
authorized to vote absentee in 2010.
She also faced felony and misdemeanor charges for allegedly committing fraud in 2008 by falsely
creating a certificate of substitution by a committee to fill vacancies. She additionally was charged
with felony and misdemeanor counts of misconduct by an elections official, as well as official
misconduct, for allegedly fraudulently signing a poll watchers certificate on behalf of Republican

Ernest Everett, failed candidate in the 2015 Troy mayoral primary, was arrested for allegedly falsifying
his nominating petitions. Everett was charged in Troy City Court with second-degree forgery and firstdegree offering a false instrument for filing, both felony counts. The charges arise from Everett filing
his Democratic nominating petitions on July 8, 2015 at the Rensselaer County Board of Elections.
Detectives said that Everett signed statements saying he witnessed the signatures on the petitions,
knowing he did not witness one or more of the signatures as they were subscribed on the petitions.
Haig Minassian, a campaign canvasser for Tom Suozzi, the Long Island Democrat seeking to replace
retiring Rep. Steve Israel in Congress, attested to and submitted candidate petitions with the names and
forged signatures of at least two deceased voters.
Damien Omar Sullivan, a Jamaican citizen, admitted in court that he illegally registered to vote in
North Carolina in 2005, and then illegally voted in the 2008 primary and general elections. However,
Judge Ken Crow dismissed all charges on the basis that Sullivan did not intend to commit fraud.

According to the Lenoir County Board of Elections minutes, during the 2010 general election a poll
worker pulled the master list, removed the necessary label, grabbed a ballot and proceeded to vote in
place of a member of the family. Details as to the worker, the precinct and the candidate to whom
those votes would have gone have not been released. Former LCBOE Chairman Robert Waller said the
board was informed of the incident at its Nov. 12, 2010, meeting, and sent the case on to the State
Board of Elections. From there, an SBOE investigator pursued the case, taking statements from
elections director Dana King and other poll workers. Its my understanding that that matter was referred
to the D.A. for your prosecutorial district, SBOE Elections Liaison Veronica Degraffenreid said. District
Attorney Branny Vickory said the investigation remains open as of May 2013 but couldnt say if there will
be further action resulting from its findings.

Erik Ray Jackson, accused of voter fraud in the 2011 municipal elections in Candor, had the charges
dismissed in a plea* agreement in Superior Court in Troy in 2013. Jackson pleaded guilty to a
misdemeanor charge of giving false information to law enforcement.
The charges of fraudulent voter registration and fraudulent voting were dismissed. Superior Court
Judge Bradford Long sentenced Jackson to 18 months of unsupervised probation and court costs.
Jackson was charged on Feb. 17, 2012, with the voter registration violations and was free on a $1,000
unsecured bond.
Jackson was alleged to have registered to vote in Montgomery County on Oct. 14, 2011, and claimed
the same Candor address as his friend, Wayne Holyfield. The subsequent investigation by the State
Bureau of Investigation confirmed that Jackson lived in Lexington and, while he had been staying at
Holyfields residence, had not met the 30-day residency requirement. According to court records,
Jacksons residence was still at the same address in Lexington as reported in 2011.

A North Carolina widow, 75-year-old Verna Roehm, was charged with felony voting fraud after she voted
on behalf of her dead husband in the 2012 presidential election. The illegal absentee mail ballot was

When confronted about the vote, Roehm said it was her husband's last dying wish to vote on the
Republican ticket, but he died a few months before he was able. She pleaded* guilty to a charge of

Clifford Antoine Odums, 25, of Anderson Road, Burlington, a convicted felon, was charged with
illegally casting a ballot in the 2012 general election. Odums was indicted in Alamance County
Superior Court on an election law violation July 22, 2013, following an investigation by the State
Bureau of Investigation. In November 2011, Odums was convicted in Alamance County Superior Court
of selling a schedule VI controlled substance and placed on 36 months probation. In North Carolina,
felons voting rights arent restored until they complete their active sentence or any probation or parole
time imposed upon them.
The State Board of Elections is investigating at least two claims of buying votes during the most recent
Mt. Gilead mayoral election. One claim involves a former resident of Tillery Chase, Mary Dennis.
Dennis son, Bobby Thompson, filed a complaint with the local board of elections office and
Department of Social Services saying his mother had been exploited. In his complaint Thompson said,
I found out from my mom Mary Dennis who resides at Tillery Chase Assisted Living Facility that a
woman named Geri Dowd took my mom to Troy to register to vote on the condition that they support
Patty Almond. For doing this she bought my mom a pack of cigarettes and lunch at McDonalds. My
mother is physically disabled and has history of mental illness and has never voted in her life. She didn't
have the ability to tell me the names of any candidates running for office or who she was voting for. My
mom tells me that Geri Dowd is taking multiple residents almost on a daily basis.
Pasco Parker received the maximum sentence from Judge Robert Martelle after Parker admitted to
voting in three states during the same November 2012 federal election - North Carolina, Florida, and
Tennessee - which is a felony under both state and federal law. Parker was sentenced to 6 to 17 months,
but it was suspended and he was placed on supervised probation for 24 months. He also was ordered to

Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon was indicted by a Mecklenburg County grand jury in 2015 on
an election fraud charge stemming from an illegal vote Cannon cast in 2014. As a convicted felon,
Cannon lost his right to vote, but the Democrat cast a ballot Oct. 30, 2014 at an early voting site. Thats
a felony under North Carolina law. At the time of his vote, Cannon had already pleaded guilty and was
waiting to start his prison sentence for accepting more than $50,000 from FBI undercover agents. He is
serving 44 months at a federal prison camp in West Virginia.
Cannon pleaded* guilty to attempted voter fraud in Mecklenburg County court March 16, 2016. The
judge found Cannon guilty of voter fraud.
Cannon will serve one day in jail, which will run concurrent to his federal time served.
Cannon signed a plea agreement to a lesser charge of attempting voter fraud, a Class 1 misdemeanor
charge. The charge for attempted voter fraud carries a maximum of 120 days in prison.

Criminal charges will be recommended in the voter fraud case concerning former Trinity resident Karen
Bridges. The Randolph County Board of Elections voted to make the recommendation to the District
Attorneys Office, based on state statutes. Bridges cast a vote in the November 2015 city election,
knowing that she was no longer a resident of Trinity and therefore ineligible to vote. Candidate Tommy
Johnson challenged the right of Bridges, a former member of the Trinity Planning Board and a former
Trinity City Council member, to vote in the election. Johnson is tied with candidate Linda Gantt, 168to-168, for the seat.
Bridges said she believed she did nothing wrong because a poll worker allowed her to vote. Darren
Allen, an elections board member, said at an election protest meeting that he didnt believe someone
who had been involved in the process, had conducted several election campaigns and served in a town
office could not have known she was ineligible to vote. The board also approved removing Bridges
name
from the county voter rolls. She testified that she is no longer a resident of Trinity, said board member
William McAnulty. She has admitted that she moved, so the administration can remove her name.
Well send her notification that we did that. The Randolph County Board of Elections also voted to
recommend Trinity conduct a new election for the at-large seat that was on the Nov. 3 municipal
election ballot.
Five towns in North Carolina will repeat 2015 municipal elections when voters head to the polls for the
March 15 primary. The State Board of Elections ruled this week in favor of municipal election
challenges in Benson, Trinity, Lumberton, Pembroke and Ahoskie. In each of those towns, a secondplace town council candidate complained of possible election law violations that could have cost
them the election. The boards general counsel, Josh Lawson, said board members found evidence of
irregularities sufficient to cast doubt on the outcome.
In Trinity, two city council candidates, Tommy Johnson and Linda Gantt, were tied with 168 votes
each. The board ruled that one of the voters, a former council member, had sold her Trinity home and
moved to Morehead City, so she couldnt participate.
State law calls for a new election if officials find an election law violation that could swing the
outcome. The county election board holds an initial hearing on complaints; the state board gets the
final say and schedules a new vote.

The State Board of Elections granted a new election for mayor of Pembroke, due to voter
irregularities," possible fraud and systematic errors made by the Robeson County Board of Elections.
Allen Dial, a former town councilman, has not taken the oath of office as mayor because of residency
challenges filed by Greg Cummings, the secondhighest vote-getter in the race. Cummings, who
finished 11 votes behind Dial, had challenged the residencies of 24 voters. At a hearing before the
local board of elections, Cummings was able to show 11 of the challenged voters were ineligible to
vote because they did not live at the addresses they gave when they cast their ballots.

The State Board of Elections ordered a new election for the Lumberton Precinct 7 City Council seat,
due to voter irregularities." possible fraud and systematic errors made by the Robeson County Board of
Elections. The Precinct 7 race had been stalled by election protests filed by both the incumbent, Leon
Maynor, and challenger, Laura Sampson. Following several recounts, including a full hand-to-eye
recount, Maynor held a one-vote lead over Sampson. An investigator with the State Board of Elections
testified that there is an ongoing investigation of
vote-buying allegations against both Maynor and Sampson. The investigator, Matthew Martucci, a
former New York Police Department detective, said that both candidates, local election officials and
others have been interviewed about the allegations, which were made by multiple sources. All
information collected during the investigation will be forwarded to the State Bureau of Investigation
and the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina.
The state board questioned Steve Stone, the chairman of the Robeson County Board of elections,
extensively about how the hand recount was conducted, and after reviewing the ambiguous ballots,
decided there was no way they could determine the voters intent based on the ballots.

Adam David Burleson, of South Creek Road in Nebo, was indicted in March 2013 on one count of
providing a false statement on a voter registration application in October 2012. Burleson falsely swore
to a matter pertaining to an election that I have not been convicted of a felony, or if I have been
convicted of a felony, I have completed my sentence, including any probation or parole. In fact,
Burleson had been convicted of felony possession with intent to deliver marijuana in McDowell County

Former Morrisville Councilwoman Linda Lyons pleaded* guilty to a voter fraud-related charge. The
Wake County District Attorneys office charged Lyons, 57, with trying to vote twice during the 2011
election.
Lyons was issued a $50 fine and sentenced to 45 days in jail, but the jail sentence was suspended for
12 months of unsupervised probation.
Lyons also paid $180 in court fees.
Lyons, who had served 12 years on the Morrisville Town Council, was running for re-election last year
when she faced allegations that she violated state election laws by mishandling absentee ballots,
improperly witnessing absentee ballots and trying to vote twice. The Wake County Board of Elections
turned over the case to the district attorneys office, which turned the matter over to the State Bureau of
Investigations. After a 10-month SBI probe, the district attorneys office decided to only pursue charges
related to Lyons attempt to vote twice, said Assistant District Attorney Steven Saad.
According to election officials, Lyons filed an early-voting ballot and then attempted to vote again two
weeks later at her precinct. At the time Lyons, said she forgot she had already voted. Lyons went to the
poll on Election Day, but officials said her absentee ballot was already counted. Unofficial elections
results Tuesday night show that Lyons trailed challenger Mike Schlink by three votes.
Lyons, who served District 1, was already under investigation by the elections board in connection with
the handling of at least five absentee ballots for voters in her district, board Director Cherie Poucher
said Monday. Five absentee ballots had to be thrown out after voters told elections officials that Lyons
was the signed witness on their ballots and that she took possession of the ballots after voters filled them
out, Poucher said. It is a felony to even touch a ballot belonging to anyone but a close relative.

Benjamen Hodzic of Catskill was charged with voter fraud for imperonating another voter in the May 20,
2014 Catskill School District Board of Education election. He was arrested one day after the election by
the Village of Catskill Police Department. Hodzic was charged with one count of second degree forgery,
in which the person falsely makes, completes, or alters a written instrument which is calculated to
become or to represent a public record filed, or required by law to be filed, in or with a public office or
public servant, and which is a class D felony.
Hodzic was also charged with one count of second degree criminal impersonation of another person
with intent to obtain a benefit, a class A misdemeanor. Hodzic allegedly signed in as his brother on
the
registration roll, cast the votes, and was later recognized and verified as not being on the registration
roll. Catskill Superintendent of Schools Dr. Kathleen Farrell said Wednesday the district reported the
matter to village police immediately. He was arraigned in Catskill Village Court and released on his
own recognizance.
Candidate Michael J. Lanuto Jr., who lost his bid for a seat at the board of education table by only 11
votes, said he has concerns that whatever improper ballot he cast now remains impossible to separate
out and disallow.

Dianna Lightfoot registered to vote using an address of a UPS store. Public records from the N.C. State
Board of Elections show Lightfoot registered to vote at her mailing address, instead of her residential
address. Board of Elections rules clearly state that voters must provide a residential address to register
to vote. Falsifying voter registration information is considered a Class I Felony.
Only one Dianna Lightfoot is registered to vote in the state. That registration is for Dianna L. Lightfoot,
353 Jonestown Road, Winston- Salem. That is the address of a UPS store. Store manager Jared Roper
said Lightfoot is a customer at the store and rents a mailbox there.
Board of Elections records show Lightfoot registered to vote in Forsyth County in March 2012 as a
Republican. Her voting record shows she cast ballots in the May primary, July primary and November
general election. Lightfoots May and November votes were cast absentee.

Ten football players at North Dakota State pleaded guilty to misdemeanor election fraud and were
sentenced to community service for faking signatures on ballot measure petitions they were hired to
collect: Samuel Ojuri, Joshua Colville, Marcus Williams, Brendin Pierre, Lucas Albers, Aireal Boyd,
Demitrius Gray, Bryan Shepherd, Antonio Rogers and Charles Smith III.
Without enough legitimate signatures, both proposed ballot measures were kept off the November 2012
ballot.
Each player was ordered to serve 360 days of unsupervised probation, complete 50 hours of community
service and pay $325 in fees. All of the sentences were deferred, meaning the crime will be expunged
from a player's record if he completes the conditions of his sentence. Judge Douglas Herman said
during sentencing that the defendants were "not smart enough, grown up enough or sophisticated
enough" to
understand the consequences of their actions.
The current players are among 15 people charged in the case. Jennifer Krahn pleaded* guilty and
received the same sentence as the 10 players. William Brown pleaded* not guilty and requested a
public defender. Three former Bison players -- Don Carter, Joshua Gatlin and
D.J. McNorton -- had their first court appearances rescheduled.
An Iowa company, Terra Strategies, reportedly hired the players and others for $9 an hour to gather
signatures for two citizen initiatives.
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem said that many of the petition signatures submitted were copied
from phone books or fabricated. Quick said in court the players were quoted a daily rate of between $65
and $90 but were told they'd get paid only if they obtained 60 signatures per day. Herman questioned
whether the practice was legal and criticized the quota system.

The ballots of four wealthy New York Democrats were yanked yesterday after they admitted they set up a
temporary house in Ohio and then voted in the battleground state. The New Yorkers and nine pals from
around the country admitted they should never have registered in the Buckeye State, said prosecutors,
who had investigated the group for possible vote fraud. As part of a deal* with prosecutors, the 13 said
they were sorry and had "misunderstood" the state's voting rules. Without reservations, we apologize to
the community [and] for the problems this misunderstanding has caused," said Greg Nolan, spokesman
for activist group Vote from Home. The group is run from the East 82nd Street brownstone of Heather
Halstead, daughter of Halstead Properties founder Clark Halstead. Halstead and her husband, Marc
Gustafson - along with Bank of New York Mellon exec Joel Speyer and former New York Sun reporter
and Scarsdale resident Daniel Hemel - and their pals were investigated after they crammed into a threebedroom house in Columbus and registered to vote. All of them cast Ohio ballots, even though they are
already registered in New York.

County Board of Elections received about Gilchrist voting in the wrong Lorain city ward in the
November 2009, May 2010, November 2010 and May 2011 elections. Gilchrist has been charged with
violations of section 3599.12 of the Ohio Revised Code, which states that no person shall [D] vote or
attempt to vote in any primary, special, or general election in a precinct in which that person is not a
legally qualified elector. Illegal voting is a fourth-degree felony, with each charge carrying up to 18
months of jail time.
Gilchrist pleaded* guilty in exchange for entering a one-year diversion program.

Franklin County resident Marian Wilson, of 1922 Kendall Place, Grove City, was charged with felony
voter fraud after the Board of Elections reported that they had voted more than once in a past election.
Wilson was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on one count of illegal voting for voting twice by
casting absentee ballots under slightly different names. Wilson was accused of casting a second ballot
on Sept. 29, 2010, under the name Marian Toles.
Elections officials working to clean up voter-registration rolls discovered that the voter had requested,
received and returned absentee ballots in both names. Illegal voting is a fourth-degree felony, which
can result in up to 18 months in prison for a conviction. But under sentencing reforms, convictions for
such offenses bring a sentence of probation if they are non-violent.

Sister Marguerite Kloos, of Delhi Township, pleaded* guilty to illegal voting, admitting to filling out and

Hewitt requested an absentee ballot from the Hamilton County Board of Elections in September 2012. It
was mailed to her Oct. 4, the day she died. When the absentee ballot was received at Hewitts address,
(Kloos) opened the envelope, forged Ms. Hewitts signature, voted Ms. Hewitts ballot, and mailed the
ballot back to the Board of Elections, a court document notes. After the allegation was made public,
Kloos resigned as The College of Mount St. Joseph's Dean of the Division of Arts and Humanities.
In a hearing before Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Winkler, Kloos pleaded guilty
as charged but was sentenced to the diversion program. If she stays out of trouble, usually for a year, her
record will be erased and legally it will be as if it never happened. As part of that agreement, she also
has to report to authorities periodically and perform community service. The charge carried a maximum

Andre Wilson -- allegedly registered and voted during Golden Week, listing an address that was not his

Melowese Richardson, a long-time Hamilton County poll worker charged with eight counts of illegal
voting, pleaded* guilty and was sentenced to prison for five years.
This is not a little thing. Its not a minor thing. This is what our countrys based on free elections,
Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman told Richardson.
Richardson was a Hamilton County poll worker from 1998 until her arrest in 2013 when she was charged
with eight counts of illegal voting. In May, she accepted a plea deal and was convicted of four counts
in exchange for the other four being dismissed. She was convicted of voting twice in the 2012 election
and voting three times in 2008, 2011 and 2012 for her sister, Montez Richardson, who has been in a
coma since 2003.
Auglaize County officials are looking into possible voter fraud after discovering one resident may have
voted twice in the Nov. 6, 2012 election. Board of elections director Carolyn Campbell said staff
members go from precinct to precinct after each election to count every ballot and verify every
signature. During that process after the general election, they discovered one person may have voted in
two different precincts. Because of the ongoing investigation, Campbell could not release the name of
the voter or the precincts. The voter will face felony charges if officials determine there is enough
evidence for fraud. After discovering the double vote, Campbell brought the issue to the board, who
agreed to turn the issue over to the sheriff's department and the prosecuting attorney. If the investigation
finds the fraud was a result of poll worker negligence, the poll worker likely would not be allowed to work
the polls the following year.
Virginia A. McMillan, of Beavercreek in Greene County, pleaded* guilty to misdemeanor falsification

after being charged with voter fraud for voting twice in the November 2012 general election. An
internal audit in December 2012 revealed that McMillan had voted early by mail and then voted again
at her polling place, according to Greene County Board of Elections Director Nancy Johannes. An
investigation by the
Sheriffs Office led to the arrest of McMillan. McMillan was sentenced to 180 days in jail, but the
judge suspended 160 days of the sentence. She was also fined $250 and must complete 88 hours of

The Lorain County Board of Elections is investigating a Henrietta Township man who cast two ballots
during the 2012 presidential election. The man requested an absentee ballot on Oct. 23, and the
ballot was returned to the elections board Nov. 3. The man then voted at his polling place Nov. 6.
Elections board Director Paul Adams said the voting book at the polling location indicated that he
already cast an absentee ballot but he was allowed to sign the book over where it said absentee sent.
The presiding judge at the polling place told elections
officials that she did not recall what happened with the voter, but Adams said her conduct also is under
review. Elections board members said that they think the issue should be investigated and likely turned
over to prosecutors. Here we have an example of a person who clearly voted twice, elections board
member Anthony Giardini said

Mul tiple vot ing
A Columbus County resident could face felony charges of voter fraud for casting a ballot twice in the
November 2012 election. The Columbus County Board of Elections met in a special called meeting
regarding a voter that officials believe may have cast absentee ballots at two different early voting, onestop sites.
Both ballots were cast under the same name and had identical addresses but the registrations had
different dates of birth affiliated with them. One of the ballots was cast at the board of elections
headquarters and then another absentee ballot cast at a different one- stop site the next morning.
The case may be turned over to the district attorney and/or federal authorities but because it is
considered a criminal investigation, County Attorney Mike Stephens advised elections officials in
closed session.
Stephens referred to the matter as a duplicate registration Thursday and was hesitant to make any
further details public. Multiple name changes in the voters record and even a change in dates of birth
contributed to the verification system not detecting the discrepancies, officials say.

Vote buying
The integrity of the election process was compromised during the May Democratic primary contest that
saw Lorain City Councilman Dennis Flores lose his re-election bid in the 2nd Ward race to challenger
Ryan Horn by one vote, Flores attorney said during opening statements Tuesday in a trial that could
overturn those results. The allegations include false registration, bribery, illegal voting, inducing illegal
voting and making false signatures.
Attorney Gerald Phillips told county Common Pleas Judge Mark Betleski that the substantial
irregularities dont appear to have come from how the county Board of Elections ran the election.
Instead, Phillips argued, a number of electors unlawfully, illegally voted for Mr. Horn.
Effectively, Horns father, bail bondsman Tony Horn, bought the election, he rigged the election in
favor of his son, Phillips said.
On the night of the election, Flores was in the lead by a vote of 151 to 131, according to unofficial
elections results, but when provisional ballots were counted, Horn pulled ahead with a total of 153 votes
to 152 votes for Flores. A third candidate in the race, Joseph Smith, received a total of 100 votes
Phillips and Flores have raised questions about whether several people who cast ballots in the race
actually lived where they claimed to live and whether those people claimed addresses owned by Tony
Horn or his associates.
Petition fraud
Forgery
ResponsibleOhio and the Strategy Network submitted petitions containing signatures of dead people,
attempted to register people under fake addresses, submitted voter registration forms that were forged
and completed by someone other than the registrant while working to place ResponsibleOhios State
Issue 3 on the November 2015 ballot.
Ian James and Stephen Letourneau of the Strategy Network were subpoenaed by Ohio's Secretary of
State as part of the investigation into the groups role in the suspected voter fraud. Under the
subpoenas, James and Letourneau were instructed to produce documents relating to their
organizations voter registration and signature collection efforts and required to submit to a deposition
by investigators. The two eventually complied with the subpoenas and the case was settled in January
2016. The state referred multiple cases of potential fraud to county rposecutors for investigation and
possible legal action.

Franklin County resident Debbie L. Tingler, of 533 Hunt Valley Dr., Reynoldsburg, was charged with
felony voter fraud after the Board of Elections reported that they had voted more than once in a past
election. Tingler was indicted by a Franklin County grand jury on one count of illegal voting for voting
twice by casting absentee ballots under slightly different names. Tingler was accused of casting a
second ballot on Feb. 27, 2008, under the name Deborah L. Tingler.
Melowese Richardson pleaded no contest to four counts of illegal voting in 2009, 2011 and 2012. One
count charged her with voting for her sister, who is in a coma. Four other counts were dropped in
exchange for Richardson's plea. Hamilton County Judge Robert P. Ruehlman laid out a laundry list of
past charges against Richardson - from witness harassment to theft to assault.

same name and personal identifying information. If the man did vote in both states, it would be a
fourth degree felony violation of Ohio law.

Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted sent multiple cases of potential voter-registration fraud by
ResponsibleOhio to the Delaware County prosecutor for possible legal action.
Voter registration forms submitted by The Strategy Network, the company owned by Ian James,
executive director of ResponsibleOhio, appear to include potential violations of election laws.
Zachary McIntire was charged by the Crawford County Prosecutors Office with false voter registration, a
fifth-degree felony, in connection with a larger scheme by legal marijuana petitioners to encourage
petition signers and voter registrants to give fraudulent addresses.
An investigation by the Secretary of State's office found that ResponsibleOhio and the Strategy
Networks petitions contained signatures of dead people, that they attempted to register people under
fake addresses, and that there were voter registration forms that were forged and completed by someone
other than the registrant.
McIntyre faces up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.
Jay Kelly went to the polls on Election Day, November 2012, in Oklahma City, only to find someone
else had already cast a ballot in his name under his address. When Kelly showed his ID to a poll worker,
she said he'd already voted. Kelly told her that that he hadn't, voted showed her his signature on his ID,
and took a picture of the voter log where someone else had signed his name.
The poll worker suggested that Kelly sign and vote as someone else in that person's place instead, but
said he was really uncomfortable with that and didn't want to go to jail. A supervisor told Kelly he could
cast a provisional ballot, but he said that wasn't an option. He was eventually allowed to cast a regular
ballot, which was counted - as was the other ballot cast earlier in his name
The state election board secretary said the matter would be reported to the district attorney's office.
Voter fraud in Oklahoma is a felony.

Richard Toney pleaded* guilty to violating federal election laws by soliciting absentee ballots that
prosecutors say benefited his wife and her running mate. Toney was immediately sentenced to three
years probation.
Toney retired in 2013, but in 2009 was still officer-in-charge of police in Harmar Township, PA. Thats
when federal prosecutors contend he solicited absentee ballots for his wife, Kim Toney, and her running
mate in that years Democratic primary for township supervisor. Assistant U.
S. Attorney Jonathan Ortiz told the judge that Toney and another man who wasnt indicted but
cooperated with authorities applied for absentee ballots, then had them filled out - often by people who
shouldnt have legally done so because they werent really going to be absent for the May 2009 primary.
Ortiz said some voters felt compelled to go along for fear of potential adverse consequences because
Toney was the townships top cop.
Before the absentee ballots were counted, Kim Toney and a challenger, Robert Exler, won the top two
slots in the primary. After 50 absentee ballots were counted, Toney and her running mate, Jerry
Chalmers, prevailed and went on to win the general election and two seats on the five-member board
that runs the township.

Keefer, Geary, and Wiltrout visited elderly voters' homes to help them complete ballots despite knowing
the voters were physically able to vote in-person on Election Day, and also failed to fill out declarations
of physical disability with the ballots, which certify that the voters wouldn't be able to vote in-person.
Keefer obtained six votes that way, Geary obtained seven, and Wiltrout two.

1. Voting by non-registered individuals This type of voting irregularity occurs when an individual who is
not registered to vote in Philadelphia at the time of an election casts a vote. Evidence in this report
shows individuals who were not registered voters at the time of the 2012 primary, yet still cast votes
included in the Certified Election Results. 2. Voting by individuals in the incorrect partys Primary This
type of irregularity is one of the most common irregularities that occur in
Primary Elections in Philadelphia. A division in which all non-Democratic voters cast votes for
candidates in the Democratic Primary is examined in this report. 3. Divisions with more votes than voters
This type of
voting irregularity occurs when more votes are cast on the Voting Machines than voters who showed up
to the polls. We examined a division where either 6 unknown voters were able to vote without signing in,
or at least one person voted more than once. 4. Voting by individuals in the incorrect legislative district
This type of voting irregularity refers to voters casting votes on the Voting Machines in a legislative
district that does not include the division in which the voter is registered. Examples of voters casting
votes in districts other than their own are included in this report. 5. Individuals voting more than once
This type of voting irregularity occurs when a voter is able to vote more than once in the same election.
Evidence in this report confirms an example of an individual who voted twice, illegally in the 2012
Primary.
6. Voter impersonation This kind of voting irregularity occurs when one individual impersonates another
and is able to vote in place of the person whose name appears in the Poll Book. This report contains
evidence of one such example. 7. Voting by non-U.S. citizens In 2012 alone, the Philadelphia City
Commissioners have already been made aware of 19 non-U.S. citizens registered to vote in
Philadelphia County. Seven have voted in at least one election, as recently as the 2012 Primary. This
report will examine three such examples.
Eugene Gallagher pleaded guilty to voter fraud for persuading Taylor residents and nonresidents to

pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors, including forgery, and a separate DUI charge, which was included
in his sentence.
Lackawanna County Judge Michael Barrasse sentenced Gallagher to a maximum of 10 months in

In Tennessee, a September 2005 special election for state Senate District 29 that was decided by only
13 votes led to the expulsion of the winner, Ophelia Ford, from the legislature after it was found that
votes had been cast by individuals who were dead at the time of the election, felons whose voting rights
had not been restored, voters whose residences were vacant lots, and voters who actually lived outside
of the district. Investigator John Harvey found at least 43 voters who did not live in the district but had
voted in the election. Three election workers in one precinct were convicted of 12 felonies for faking
votes by making false entries on election documents and other misconduct, including forging the
signatures of deceased voters on ballot forms and falsely certifying vote totals.

Former Bolivar City Council member Brenda Woods was convicted of three counts of procuring illegal
voters in the city's May 2009 municipal elections.
Yolanda Giles, Taletha McNeal Traylor, and Amos Watkins said that during early elections Woods took
them to the polls to vote for her. They testified they told Woods they had felony convictions, but she
assured them they could still vote. An investigation by Tennessee Bureau of Investigation revealed the
three felons had cast ballots illegally since their voting rights had not been restored. The three were
granted immunity for testifying.
Woods was convicted on the same charges in 2011, but was awarded a new trial on appeal two years
later. As a result of her convictions, Woods can no longer vote or run for elected office.
Woods was sentenced to two years of community corrections, which entails intensive community-based
supervision and treatment provided by agencies contracted by the state.

The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation launched a probe to determine whether about 300 signatures
on a petition to recall District 7 Councilman Chris Anderson that were tossed out by the Hamilton
County Election Commission were forged. TBI spokesman Josh DeVine said investigators were
requested by the local district attorney's office.
More than 3,000 signatures, but over half were thrown out after the election commission determined
that the signer lived outside the district or because the signature appeared fake.
Jo Ann Cronan was indicted on six counts of voter fraud related to the August 2014 general election in
Polk County, Tennessee. District Attorney General Stephen D. Crump charged Cronan with paying
individuals for their vote in violation of state law. Agents from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation,

Rosa Maria Ortega, a non-citizen legally residing in Tarrant County, Texas, was charged with two felony
counts of illegal voting. Ortega was charged for voting in person during the November 2012 general
election and in the May 2014 primary runoff election in Dallas County.
Ortega applied to vote in Tarrant County and acknowledged on the application form that she was not a
citizen. The county rejected her application and notified her she was not qualified to vote. Five
months later, she applied again and claimed she was a citizen.
Ortega never did vote in Tarrant County, but investigators learned she had voted in Dallas County.
Dallas County Elections Administrator Toni Pippins-Poole said records showed that Ortega had voted a
total of five times. The first was in the Republican primary in 2004 and the most recent was the
Republican primary runoff in May 2014.
The case is being prosecuted by the Criminal Prosecutions Division with assistance from the Tarrant
County District Attorney. Illegal voting is a 2nd-degree felony, punishable by two to 20 years in prison.

DeSoto County Election Commission chairman Paul Beale said several voting irregularities in the Nov.
6, 2012 general election and Nov. 27 runoff were turned over to the proper authorities, including the
FBI. District 4 Election Commissioner Carl Payne reported an incident in which a father cast an
absentee ballot, the son voted in person and then the son changes clothes and returned to vote as his
father. according to a written statement from the poll manager.
Among other cases reported by Payne: A voter came to cast a ballot, gave a name that was on the poll
book, signed the receipt book and
was allowed to vote. Another person using the same name came to vote later that day, and was
informed he'd already voted. The second person provided proof of identity. Also, a voter cast a ballot
in person at the proper precinct and then prepared a provisional ballot, including a sworn affidavit, at
another precinct.

Challenger and former state Rep. Borris Miles won a recount by eight votes over incumbent Rep. Al
Edwards, but Edwards has filed a lawsuit, alleging Miles was aided by voter fraud in the March 2, 2010
primary.
The lawsuit, filed in Harris County District Court, claims that Miles, who officials had initially said won by
10 votes, benefitted from votes of people who were not legally qualified and/or registered to vote for
the following reasons: (i) the voters residence was outside of Harris County and/or District 146; (ii) the
voter was fraudulently or improperly registered to vote or the voters registration had been cancelled: (iii)
the voter was ineligible to vote because he or she was previously convicted of a felony: (iv) the voter did
not properly complete an application for an early voting by mail ballot: and (v) early voting by mail
ballots were cast that were procured by fraud or without the consent or knowledge of the actual voter.
Edwards asks that the court, after determining that illegal votes were cast, compel voters who cast
illegal ballots to tell who they voted for.
Margarita Rangel Ozuna pleaded* no contest to one count of illegally assisting a voter (TEC 86.010) in

Weslaco City Commissioner Guadalupe "Lupe" Rivera was charged with 16 counts of misdemeanor
voter fraud related to the November 2013 race for City Commission District 5. Rivera pleaded* guilty
to one count of unlawful assistance to a voter, a Class A misdemeanor. In
exchange for the plea, the other 15 charges were dropped: six counts of method of returning marked
ballot (fewer than 10 ballots), a Class B misdemeanor; six counts of carrier envelope action by person
other
than voter, a Class B misdemeanor; and three counts of assisting voter violation, a Class A
misdemeanor.
Rivera was re-elected in 2013 by just 16 votes over challenger Leticia "Letty" Lopez, who contested the
election alleging voter fraud.
Questionable voter registrations - including 23 people who listed the same single-family on registration
forms - and allegations about mail-in ballots emerged at trial. A judge ordered a new election, which
Lopez won in 2015. Also charged were Riveras son, Lupe Rivera Jr., and Graciela Sanchez.

The Bryan City Council voted to ask the Texas Attorney General's office to investigate Karen Hall, who
helped secure voter signatures to place an ethics-related charter amendment before voters in
November. Hall doesn't live at or own the address in Bryan at which she is registered to vote, but has
voted in several city elections, most recently in December 2013. Hall listed her address on her voter
registration as 5918 Texas 21 East in Bryan, which is the address of Bruders Electric. According to Hall,
the building's former owner, Edward Wayne Kelly, offered to let Hall live in part of the building, but she
never moved in. Hall thought the
agreement was still in place when Kelly passed away several years ago, but Malcolm Hein, the owner of
Bruder's Electric, who is renting the building, signed an affidavit saying he's never allowed anyone to
live on the property.
It is a felony under Texas law for a person to vote in an election where they know they are not eligible to

House District 90 election to determine if there were hundreds of illegally cast ballots after receiving
multiple reports of an illegal computerized-signature vote-by-mail operation run to benefit Romero.
The Attorney General's office is looking into voter fraud allegations made by former Justice of the
Peace for Precinct Six, Rosalie Dominguez, against former State Rep. Chente Quintanilla and two
current Justices of the Peace, Enedina Nina Serna and Ruben Lujan. Serna and Quintanilla allegedly
signed up seniors for absentee ballots for homebound residents and unlawfully picked up the ballots at
their
homes. Dominguez also included Lujan in the suit, saying he threatened seniors to not cooperate with
her investigation.

Letty Lopez successfully contested the November 2013 Weslaco City Commission election results after
a year-and-a-half-long legal dispute with incumbent Lupe Rivera. A judge determined that at least 30
votes were illegally cast in the race, which was decided by just 16 votes in favor of Rivera. The illegal
votes included multiple voters registered and voting where they didn't reside (including at Rivera's
sister's home) and mail ballots requested and completed without voters' knowledge.

Leading up to the 2010 Alton city election, 23 voters registered their residency at mayoral candidate
Jose Picassos home on North Eagle Pass Street. In December 2012 two women were charged with
illegal voting for falsely listing Picassos home as their residence to vote in the 2010 Alton election.
Both were convicted. The city, which ran the 2010 election, found more than three dozen suspicious
votes. Two candidates, Salvador Vela and Picasso, had 10 and 24 registered voters respectively at their
homes.
Irene Rodriguez, the wife of Mercedes City Commissioner and mayoral candidate Rudy Rodriguez, and
Chris De Leon, the owner of the adult daycare that disabled senior Yolanda Gonzales attended, entered
Gonzales' home, opened mail-in ballots for the June 2014 City Commission runoff, and instructed
Gonzales how to complete her own ballot. The two women then instructed Gonzales to complete and
sign the ballots of her mentally-impaired brother Rene Gonzales and her 88- year-old bedridden father
Jose Gonzales, who werent home.
Its illegal to cast someones vote for them without their knowledge and to instruct someone how to vote
as they are voting. It is also against the law to mark their ballot or take it to the mail for them without
signing as a voter assistant.
Describing the incident, Yolanda Gonzales who, at 64, suffers from various disabilities didnt seem
to understand that what she had done was wrong. She said she had just followed the instructions of the
campaign workers, who told her she was allowed to mark votes for her father and brother.
The complaints were referred to Hidalgo County District Attorney Rene Guerra.

tampered with the election between Oct. 20 and 31, during early voting, to ensure Hegemiers win by
electioneering whilw working at the polls. Bandera County Elections Administrator Toba Perez-Wright

Charge
s
Harris County constable chief deputy Jasen Rabalais, who narrowly missed making the runoff in the
Precinct 3 constable's primary election on March 1,2016, has sued the top two vote-getters, seeking to
annul the results because of alleged violations of election law. Rabalais alleged in court papers on
March 10 that a campaign worker for Michel Pappillion, a candidate who beat him by 37 votes and
edged him out of the runoff, illegally cast votes on behalf of some senior citizens.
Sherman Eagleton was the top vote getter by more than 800 votes of more than 18,000 cast, while
Rabalais came in third.
Eagleton and Pappillion are scheduled to face each other in the May 2016 runoff for the Democratic
nomination. Pappillion denied allegations that his campaign violated election law, but declined to say
whether he employed the campaign worker, referring questions to his attorney,
Andy Taylor.
Rabalais' complaint states that the worker initially approached his campaign, offering to "deliver votes
from seniors through special access to senior living facilities," guaranteeing 1,000 votes, and Rabalais
turned her down. Rabalais supporters noticed the worker at the polls wearing
a Pappillion shirt and telling elderly voters that they had already voted, the complaint alleges. The
Rabalais campaign confronted the worker, who told them she is a nurse, has access to nursing homes
and gets seniors to "vote for that person who [she is] working for," the complaint alleges. The complaint
alleges the worker "deliberately falsified, illegally completed, or unlawfully influenced the ballots and
early voting applications of elderly residents" in Precinct 3. Rabalais' suit calls for the court to order a
new election, subtract illegal votes or "declare the outcome of the election if able to ascertain the true
outcome."

Description

1743
When Sylvia Rodriguez went to the polls to vote in May 2016, election workers told her she'd already
voted by mail. Rodriguez said she never sent a mail-in ballot and went to the Hidalgo County
Elections Department to nullify it. Rodriguez said a woman came to her house and asked for her mail-in
ballot.
"She circled the names of the people with the group she was supporting. She told me 'you're going to
vote for these three people,'" Rodriguez said. "But I told her no."
The Texas Secretary of State referred complaints regarding illegal voting in the March 2016 primary
election in Hill County to the Office of the Attorney General after finding that as many as 1743 more
votes were cast than there were voters in the election, that 6-7 voters voted twice, and one voter voted
as many as four times. Hill County Elections Administrator Patsy Damschen attributed the excess votes
to double counting of absentee ballots.
