Humberto Hernandez
CONVICTED: 1998
Fraudulent Use of Absentee Ballots
Mohammad Shafiq
CONVICTED: 2015
False Registrations
Humberto Hernandez was convicted of being an accessory to covering
up fraud and removed from office after it was discovered that hundreds
of fraudulent absentee ballots were cast in his favor. He was sentenced
to a one-year prison term.
Mohammad Shafiq had a disagreement with Madison county sheriff
candidate Clayton Lowe, and thought he would get back at the man
by helping his opponent win the 2012 election. Shafiq fraudulently
submitted voter registrations cards and - in the face of accusations
- coerced a couple, Bennie and Margaret Pierce, to sign affidavits
intended to exonerate him. Upon investigation, his ruse was discovered
and he was charged with two counts of perjury, three counts of
tampering with evidence, and two counts of voter identification fraud.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years’ probation with a fine
of $6,750.
