WISCONSIN WISCONSIN Frank Edmund Walton CONVICTED: 2010 False Registrations Kevin Clancy and Maria Miles CONVICTED: 2010 False Registrations While employed by the Community Voters Project, Frank Edmund Walton registered 70 voters for the 2008 election, only 16 of those registrations contained accurate information, and at least one contained the information of a deceased voter. He was convicted of one count of falsely procuring voter registrations and sentenced to 52 days in jail and fined $500. Kevin Clancy and Maria Miles, both employees for ACORN, pleaded guilty to falsely procuring voter registration information after admitting that they submitted multiple voter registration forms for the same individuals. To meet quotas, Clancy admitted he and others also registered themselves multiple times. Clancy received a 10-month prison sentence, but will serve his time consecutively with another sentence he is already serving for an armed robbery.

WISCONSIN WISCONSIN David Lewis and Ramon Martinez CONVICTED: 2010 Ineligible Voting Louis and Jane Kwiatkowski CONVICTED: 2010 Duplicate Voting, Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots David Lewis and Ramon Martinez, who were still under supervision for prior felonies, pleaded guilty to one count of voting as a disqualified person for registering and then casting ballots in the 2008 election. Under Wisconsin law, those under felony supervision are inelligible to vote. Lewis was sentenced to 20 days’ imprisonment and fined $250. Martinez was sentenced to 30 days’ imprisonment and received a $750 fine. The Wisconsin couple was convicted of voting twice, with each casting absentee ballots in elections in the town of Wyocena, where they owned a cabin, before later voting in the city of Blooming Grove. The victor in the Wyocena trustee’s race - who also happened to be the Kwiatkowskis’ preferred candidate - won by a two-vote margin, prompting the judge to declare that the couple’s fraud swung the election. Mr. Kwiatkowski was fined $2,000 and his wife received a $1,500 fine.
