CONVICTED: 2002<br />
Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots<br />
Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum, his father Kent Hallum, and two<br />
campaign workers, Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone, pleaded<br />
guilty to conspiracy to commit election fraud; the lawmaker’s campaign<br />
bribed absentee voters and destroyed ballots in Arkansas District 54<br />
primary, runoff and general elections in 2011. Hudson Hallam was<br />
sentenced to one year home detention, three years’ probation, $20,000<br />
fine, and 100 hours of community service. Kent Hallum received<br />
probation and nine months home confinement. Sam Malone received<br />
3 years’ probation (7.2 months of which was home confinement), and<br />
100 hours of community service. Carter received 3 years’ probation (5<br />
months of which was monitored home confimentment), 100 hours of<br />
community service, and a $2,500 fine.<br />
Larry Gray was charged with illegally casting more than 25 absentee<br />
ballots in other people’s names during the 2002 primary, but the<br />
sum total of his election fraud may have been much higher. The<br />
former sanitation director for the city applied for hundreds of ballots,<br />
successfully submitting 98 in the Democratic primary. According to<br />
the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Gray was likely not the only one running<br />
this type of scheme. After pleading guilty, Gray received two years’<br />
probation.<br />
