Democrat Charged with Voter Fraud After Allegedly Requesting Ballot for Dead Wife

[BREITBART] A man was charged with voter fraud Thursday after he allegedly requested a mail ballot for his deceased wife in Manatee County, Florida.

The Manatee County Sheriff’s Office began investigating 62-year-old Larry Wiggins in September when Manatee County Supervisor of Elections Mike Bennett reported the suspicious ballot request, according to the Herald-Tribune.

"Bennett said his staff discovered the fraud during a routine check of the voter roll that is done whenever someone requests a mail ballot," the article stated.

Howevever, the supervisor noted that "As soon as they pulled up the file it showed that she is dead."

Officials then compared the handwriting on the ballot request for the suspect’s wife with her signature on file and realized they did not match.

"Deputies were alerted on Sept. 17 and later interviewed Wiggins. The registered Democrat told them he was ’testing the system,'" the Herald-Tribune report said.

Based on Wiggins’ statements and the evidence, Sherlocks "developed probable cause to charge the suspect with Requesting Vote by Mail Ballot on Behalf of Another Elector," according to a blurb from the sheriff’s office.

"On 09/22/20 the case was sent to the State Attorney’s Office for review, and on 09/29/20 the SAO agreed to proceed with prosecution. On 10/01/20 Larry Wiggins was arrested at his home without incident," the release continued.

#4 A set back to be sure, but I understand the Epstein/Ginsburg vote is still solid.
