NEVADA<br />

NORTH CAROLINA<br />

Hortencia Segura-Munoz<br />

CONVICTED: 2014<br />

Ineligible Voting and False Registrations<br />

Patrick Cannon<br />

CONVICTED: 2016<br />

Ineligible Voting<br />

Hortencia Segura-Munoz, an illegal immigrant living in Washoe<br />

County, Nevada, registered to vote under a false name and cast ballots<br />

in the 2008 and 2010 Nevada elections. She was convicted and was<br />

sentenced to time served (103 days in jail) and $1,000 in costs and<br />

fees.<br />

Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon pleaded guilty to a<br />

misdemeanor voter fraud charge. Cannon admitted that he cast an<br />

absentee ballot in the 2014 midterm elections, despite the fact that<br />

he had been convicted on felony corruption charges stemming from<br />

his acceptancy of $50,000 in bribes from FBI undercover agents. The<br />

conviction cost Cannon his right to vote. The plea deal in the voter<br />

fraud case saw one day tacked on to his already existing 44-month<br />

prison sentence.<br />
