William Hazard<br />

CONVICTED: 2015<br />

False Registrations<br />

James Webb Baker<br />

CONVICTED: 2014<br />

Misc. Voter Fraud (including intimidation of voters)<br />

William Hazard, 53, of West Boynton, pleaded guilty to one felony<br />

voter registration charge and three misdemanor charges of attempting<br />

to submit false voter registration information. He was initially charged<br />

with multiple counts of false voter registration. He was sentenced<br />

to 10 days in the county jail, 36 months’ probation, and was ordered<br />

to pay a $7,500 fine. Hazard was hired by a consulting firm to<br />

register Republican voters; in the process he illegally switched party<br />

registrations for multiple voters and even registered his uncle, an Iowa<br />

resident, to vote in Florida.<br />

James Webb Baker of Seattle, Washington pleaded guilty to ID Fraud<br />

and intimidation of voters. Responding to perceived suppression of<br />

hispanic voters who favored Democrat candidates, Baker mailed fake<br />

county election documents to Palm Beach County, Florida residents<br />

demanding proof of citizenship to avoid having their voter registrations<br />

cancelled. Nearly 200 residents were targeted - all with connections to<br />

the Republican Party. Baker is awaiting sentencing.<br />
