Roderick Wright<br />

CONVICTED: 2014<br />

False Registrations<br />

Vernon, CA<br />

CONVICTED: 2012<br />

False Registrations<br />

State Sen. Roderick Wright (D-Inglewood) was convicted of 8 felony<br />

counts of perjury and voter fraud. He deliberately misled voters as to<br />

his residency in order to run for office in a neighboring district. Wright<br />

was sentenced to 90 days’ imprisonment, 1,500 hours of community<br />

service, and three years’ probation. He has also been permanently<br />

barred from holding elected office.<br />

A City Council election (originally decided by 4 votes) in Vernon, CA<br />

is overturned when it is determined that 5 people who voted for the<br />

winner were not residents of the city, and 2 others had not properly<br />

mailed in their ballots. A new winner was subsequently named.<br />
