Donald Holz is among the five people in Wisconsin who face voter fraud charges. He said all he wanted to do was vote for Trump. But because he was still on parole after being convicted of felony drunken driving, the 63-year-old retiree was not eligible to do so. Wisconsin is not among the states that have loosened felon voting laws in recent years.

In southeast Pennsylvania, 72-year-old Ralph Thurman, a registered Republican, was sentenced to three years probation after pleading guilty to one count of repeat voting. Authorities said Thurman, after voting at his polling place, returned about an hour later wearing sunglasses and cast a ballot in his sons name.

Las Vegas businessman Donald Kirk Hartle was among those in Nevada who raised the cry against election fraud. Early on, Hartle insisted someone had unlawfully cast a ballot in the name of his dead wife, and state Republicans seized on his story to support their claims of widespread fraud in the state. It turned out that someone had cast the ballot illegally Hartle, himself. He agreed to plead guilty to a reduced charge of voting more than once in the same election.
Hartles attorney said the businessman, who is an executive at a company that hosted a Trump rally before the election, had accepted responsibility for his actions.

(23,459 posts)2. Voter fraud hysteria
As an excuse to stomp on democracy. No detailed reporting that it was all rethuglicans.
Did Ken Paxton ever pay out that $1M to anybody?

(65,936 posts)7. I think it was $25,000. He had to pay a PA Democrat for catching a GOP fraudster.

(7,387 posts)6. Didn't I get taught that it was illegal to intentionally pull a fire alarm when there's no fire?
