Second former Scott Taylor (repuke) campaign staffer pleads guilty to election fraud
Second former Scott Taylor campaign staffer pleads guilty to election fraud
https://www.pilotonline.com/news/crime/vp-nw-campaign-staffer-plea-20200924-udqio4n44ra3bgbqzdjcjlmjxy-story.html
A second member of Scott Taylor’s 2018 campaign staff pleaded guilty this morning to her role in a petition scandal that might have cost the former congressman re-election that year.
Roberta Marciano, 24, initially was charged with felony election fraud but was allowed to plead to a misdemeanor count instead.
She received a one-year suspended jail sentence and was fined $1,000 as part of a plea agreement. It was the same deal offered to one of her former co-workers earlier this year. A third staffer was indicted on similar charges earlier this month.
The plea in Virginia Beach Circuit Court came as a lawyer for Taylor said this week that prosecutors have indicated he won’t be facing any charges in the case.
