Milwaukee Journal SentinelMADISON A Wisconsin man who cast two absentee ballots in the 2020 presidential election has been charged with four felonies, making him the second person in the battleground state to face charges stemming from the election.
...snip...
According to the complaint, Overall requested an absentee ballot from St. Croix County in western Wisconsin on Oct. 5, 2020. It was mailed to a Rockford, Illinois, address. A week later, on Oct. 12, he signed the absentee ballot using a Star Prairie, Wisconsin, address, which is in St. Croix County. The ballot was received before the election.
On Oct. 13, just a day after he signed that absentee ballot, Overall registered to vote using a Beloit, Wisconsin, address, using a vehicle title as proof of residence, the complaint said. On Oct. 27, Overall voted absentee in person at a voting location in the Town of Beloit, in Rock County.
Overall said he was told by an election official in Rock County that his absentee vote there would cancel out his request for the St. Croix County absentee ballot, which he said he remembered filling out but not returning.
Ive got memory problems, Overall said Monday. I cant even remember what day it is.

(15,793 posts)1. 31 years seems excessive for being registered in two places
and voting twice. Yes punishment but possible 31 years?

(3,577 posts)3. Wisconsin isn't that tough on voter fraud
The sentence would be three and one-half years. (There should have been some space between 3 and 1/2.)

If he can't remember what day it is, he needs to be evaluated by adult services.
