FAIRFAX, Va. — Want a real-life example of voter fraud? Fairfax County election officials say they have 17 — and they’re providing names to local, state and federal authorities for prosecution.
The 17 voters reportedly cast ballots in both Fairfax County, Va., and the state of Maryland during the 2012 presidential election.
Officials from Fairfax and Montgomery County, Md., identified dual voters by matching first and last names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers.
Brian Schoenemann, secretary of the Fairfax County Electoral Board, said he sent letters and evidence to county Commonwealth Attorney Ray Morrogh, state Attorney General Mark Herring, U.S. Attorney Dana Boente and the Public Integrity Section of the Department of Justice requesting further investigation.
Names of the voters were not disclosed. But Watchdog.org learned that one of the multiple voters had been casting double ballots for the past decade.

lets get voter id started ASAP
ReplyDeleteVoter ID is useless as long as we have absentee ballots.
ReplyDeleteI don't think anybody is surprised at this....
ReplyDeleteBig deal. I am retired military and have lived in California, Florida, North Carolina and Maryland. We were never taken off the voter rolls in any state so every election we vote in Maryland, but also get absentee ballots from the other 3 states. We get to vote 4 times in every presidential election. It's so easy it's scary.
ReplyDelete11:18 - absentee ballots would be the easiest to control....only issue one per name, get signature and ID upon receipt....
ReplyDeleteAbsentee means you can't make it to the polling place at the appointed time and place - not that you can't comply with the required controls!
ReplyDeleteWonder what party they were registered in?
