What Happens When You Commit Voting Fraud
On Behalf of Spatz Law Firm, PL | Nov 16, 2018 | Criminal Charges |
As election season comes to a close, crimes involving ballots and voting tend to come to light. Though it doesn’t happen often, it does happen on occasion. According to Vox, “Voter fraud is extremely rare. As Vox’s German Lopez has written, a study by Loyola Law School professor Justin Levitt found just 35 credible allegations of fraud from 2000 and 2014 – out of more than 800 million ballots cast.” This year in Miami-Dade County two women were caught committing voter fraud and could be in some serious trouble. One woman, 74-year-old Gladys Coego, was charged with being linked to anywhere from two to a dozen fraudulent votes after she was caught using her own pen to fill in votes to be cast for mayoral candidate Raquel Regalado. She is being charged with two counts of felony and turned herself in. She was released on a $10,000 bond.
