'Our election system is secure, and today's charges demonstrate that in the rare circumstances when fraud occurs we catch it and hold the perpetrators accountable,' a statement said.
A trio of women in Michigan were booked on charges related to attempted voter fraud after an investigation uncovered specific instances of deception, the state's attorney general's office said Monday. However, the office added, the fact that so few cases have been discovered shows just how secure elections are.
In Macomb County, an employee of an assisted living facility, Trenae Rainey, allegedly filled out a series of absentee ballot applications herself that had been meant for assisted living residents, and also forged their signatures. Additionally, she used her own oversight in determining which residents should receive absentee ballots. She was charged with three counts of election forgery and forging signatures.
Nancy Juanita Williams has been charged in both Oakland and Wayne Counties after investigators said she forged and submitting 26 absentee ballot applications on behalf of people under her guardianship in an effort to have their ballots sent to her. Williams has been charged with numerous offenses in five district courts, including felony election law forgery and felony forging of signatures on absentee ballots.
