Student gets prison time for registering dead people to vote in Virginia!

Here’s another case of voter registration fraud coming to us from the Democrat run state of Virginia:

RICHMOND TIMES DISPATCH – A 21-year-old man who pleaded guilty last week to filing 18 phony voter registration applications in Harrisonburg will spend 100 to 120 days in prison, according to federal prosecutors in the Western District of Virginia.

Andrew J. Spieles of Harrisonburg admitted to filing the fraudulent registrations in August while working with Democratic-affiliated groups as a student at James Madison University ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

The fraud was discovered after local election officials noticed that some applications had been filed in the names of dead people, including the father of a Rockingham County judge.

The offense was punishable by a fine of up to $100,000 and up to a year in prison.

Spieles told investigators that he fabricated the applications to help a co-worker hit a registration “quota,” according to court documents.

It’s good to see more of these fraudsters being punished, and it’s especially gratifying because their efforts were in vain in the first place.
