CONVICTED: 2005<br />

Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots<br />

She later pleaded guilty to double voting in that year’s election, but<br />

avoided jail time. She was ordered to pay court fees and a $490 fine.<br />

Robert Victor Holmgren cast a ballot for his recently-deceased wife<br />

in the 2004 general election. He pleaded guilty to voting twice in an<br />

election and was ordered to pay $490 in fines and court fees.<br />
