John O’Hara<br />

CONVICTED: 1999<br />

False Registrations<br />

Biqui Diana Parra Rodriguez<br />

CONVICTED: 2014<br />

False Registrations and Duplicate Voting<br />

John O’Hara deliberately registered to vote using his girlfriend’s<br />

address so that he could continue to vote and run for office in his<br />

old district. District lines were changed in 1992 during redistricting,<br />

prompting O’Hara to use the address, despite it not being his<br />

permanent residence. He was sentenced to 1,500 hours of community<br />

service and fined $20,000.<br />

Las Vegas resident, Biqui Diana Parra Rodriguez illegally obtained<br />

personal information of Mary Lou Aguirre and falsely registered to vote<br />

under her name in 2011 and in 2012. She was caught through the use of<br />

photo ID cards and facial recognition software that identified the two<br />

IDs she had obtained under different names. She ultimately pleaded<br />

guilty to two felony counts of voter registration fraud and identity theft.<br />
