I wonder if she voted for Larry S. or Mark Barthel. Maybe someone should fine out, if it was for Larry then Mark would have won the election.

But there is no voter fraud. How could this happen?! LOL!

Clearly she should not have done this, but 5 years in prison? It's not like she held up a liquor store or something.

Also, how does this affect Sorensen v. Barthel?

The election results have been canvassed and submitted to the state, which has filed them. Offices has been filled with oath/swearing in of new members. The elections are final.
However, I don't know if that would prevent Mr. Barthel from filing any sort of complaint either in court or with the Secretary of State ... if the vote was indeed a game changer.

Goes to show you, nobody will ever investigate voter fraud. The people have to turn themselves in. Pretty sad state of affairs. You know this happens every day on a huge scale and the government doesn't care.

Why would she vote, and then on the very same day call her parole officer and confess?

Another file for the stupid criminal log. "Dear Parole Officer, I am adjusting to life outside of prison. In fact I just voted. You see, I am rehabilitated... I give a darn what happens to us.

Love Lindsey

P.S. I still owe that fine.. I'm more than happy to pay it. Can I write you a check?

Ha!

Bill, she will never do any time on this. The 5 years in prison is just the maximum allowed for this type of crime.

Also, she probably never even thought about the fact that she turned herself in. I bet it never crossed her mind.

That's one of the issues that this electorate does not understand. Proper ID and a signature and one can vote. Same day registration is an absolute joke. While most people are honest, there is plenty of evidence of "precinct hopping" for one. When people move, it is law to have their drivers license updated. There is a box that can be checked at the DMV when registering that will have the county of old and new residence that your voter registration must be updated.
What it all boils down to is personal responsibility, knowing the voting rules and participating (not many people know that if you don't vote over a four year cycle, you are supposed to be dropped from the registration log, although there was a person who had been dead over 10 years on the log).
The real tragedy of this was cited above. While this individual will be charged, what if there is a 1% fraud rate? ~5,000 votes were cast at City Hall. And there was a tie for City Council. Do we see the problem here???

Well, if she's a democrat, then it's not a crime, right? After all, they're above the law, and above the Constitution, right? I think she was supposed to vote in more than one district?

cccc--can't you think of anything better to add--what is not to say she voted republican????
