CONNECTICUT
FLORIDA
Edwin E. Garcia
CONVICTED: 1996
Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots
Annique Lesage Newton
CONVICTED: 2015
Ineligible Voting
Edwin E. Garcia, a former lawmaker and Hartford Police Sergeant,
pleaded no contest to three felony counts of absentee ballot fraud,
tampering with a witness, and accepting an illegal campaign
contribution. Garcia and his campaign workers systematically
registered hundreds of young voters and furnished many with absentee
ballots that they neither qualified for nor understood. He received a
sentence of one year of house arrest.
Newton, a serial fraudster, was convicted of embezzlement, insurance
fraud, and voter fraud, and sentenced to eight years in prison and 15
years’ probation after violating her probation stemming from a 2009
case in which she stole $400,000 from her employer. The vote fraud
charges stemmed from registering to vote without informing election
officials that she was a convicted felon.
