CONVICTED: 2012<br />

Ballot Petition Fraud<br />

Bonnie Nicholson pleaded guilty to forgery and election fraud. Despite<br />

being a felon and ineligible to vote, Nicholson registered and then voted<br />

in the 2012 election. She was sentenced to five years in prison on each<br />

charge, all of which were suspended, and one year of probation on each<br />

charge.<br />

Feda Morton, a former congressional candidate, pleaded guilty to<br />

falsifying a campaign document after admitting that she convinced<br />

friends to sign a petition to get a favored political candidate on the<br />

ballot for a 2011 election. Submitting the signatures for notarization,<br />

Morton attested to having personally witnessed the signatures even<br />

though she hadn’t. Morton was sentenced to probation.<br />
