CONVICTED: 2010<br />
False Registrations<br />
Deidra Humphrey, a former recruiter for the Missouri Progressive Vote<br />
Coalition, pleaded guilty to mail fraud after she submitted false and<br />
forged voter registrations to Missouri Pro-Vote, which unknowingly<br />
submitted them to elections boards in St. Louis city and St. Louis<br />
county. Maximum penalties for the offenses include 20 years in prison<br />
and a fine of up to $250,000.<br />
In order to assist their nephew in his razor-close 2010 democratic<br />
primary for the 40th district in Missouri, Clara and John Moretina<br />
falsly registered a Kansas City address so they could vote for their<br />
nephew, John Joseph Rizzo. Rizzo won that primary election by a single<br />
vote. That means two fraudulent votes could have provided his winning<br />
margin. John Moretina pleaded guilty to a federal charge of voter fraud<br />
in connection with the 2010 election. He was sentenced to 5 years’<br />
probation. Clara Moretina was not charged in the federal case, but was<br />
convicted by the state of Missouri and both she and her husband were<br />
fined $250 and barred from ever voting again in Missouri.<br />
