Adrian Heath, Sybil Doyle, and Roberta Cook<br />

CONVICTED: 2014<br />

False Registrations<br />

Jacob Awuol Barac<br />

CONVICTED: 2012<br />

Ineligible Voting<br />

Adrian Heath, Sybil Doyle, and Roberta Cook were convicted of voting<br />

on a referendum about whether the Woodlands Road Utility District<br />

could raise taxes to cover municipal debt, even though none of them<br />

were residents in the district. The election results were subsequently<br />

overturned. Heath was sentenced to a three year prison sentenced<br />

and a fine of $10,000; Cook and Doyle each received three year prison<br />

sentence, five years’ probation, and fines of $5,000.<br />

Jacob Barac pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges after admitting<br />

that he signed a voter application attesting to his citizenship despite<br />

his permanent resident status, which made him ineligible to vote. Barac<br />

claimed that he had requested the ballot so that his roommate could<br />

vote, and then filled it out himself. He was sentenced to 5 years of<br />

supervised probation and 40 hours of community service.<br />
