Russian and Uzbek Charged with Filing False Voter Registration Applications
- ceejayoz 2y agoImagine risking five years in jail for 132 votes, lol. https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/russian-uzbek-nationals-filed-132-fake-voter-registration-applications-in-pinellas-county-doj/ https://www.wfla.com/news/pinellas-county/russian-uzbek-nati... > The 132 applications were submitted in envelopes with “identically formatted return and address labels,” the complaint said. Each listed a real residential address in Pinellas County, but bore the name, date of birth, and social security number of what appeared to be a fictitious person. > Officials said there were also several other red flags, including that none of the applicants had middle names, multiple shared the same date of birth and nearly all of the addresses listed appeared at least twice within the 132 applications. > Due to the unusual nature of the voter applications, the Supervisor of Elections ultimately issued rejection letters to all 132 that were submitted. The system worked, as usual.
