An East St. Louis, Ill., woman has been charged with submitting false information on voter registration cards, including turning in cards from nursing home residents without their knowledge.
U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway's office said Deidra Humphrey, 44, worked for the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition from June through August last year. A federal indictment said Humphrey submitted forged voter registration cards to elections officials in St. Louis city and county. It charged her with two felony counts of voter registration fraud. If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison on each count and fines. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
