CONVICTED: 2005<br />
False Registrations<br />
Michelle Robinson pleaded guilty to 13 counts of election law violations<br />
in connection with a fraudulent voter registration scheme. Robinson<br />
worked for Operation Big Vote, an initiative aimed at boosting the<br />
participation of black voters in the 2001 St. Louis mayoral election. But<br />
13 of the voter registration cards she submitted were made out in the<br />
names of dead former city aldermen. Robinson was simultaenously<br />
convicted on drug charges and her combined sentence was four years<br />
of probation, 180 hours of community service, and mandatory training<br />
in transcendental meditation.<br />
Operation Big Vote, an effort to register black voters, led to a scheme<br />
to register prominent dead local politicians to vote. Nonaresa<br />
Montgomery, an Operation Big Vote employee, was convicted of<br />
perjury. Six others pleaded guilty to dozens of election law violations<br />
in connection with the scheme. Montgomery received two years of<br />
probation.<br />
