Democrat Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Friday that her office filed felony charges against four Michigan residents who allegedly double-voted and three assistant clerks who allegedly facilitated the illegal voting.
Four St. Clair Shores voters (Frank Prezzato, Stacy Kramer, Douglas Kempkins Jr., and Geneva O’Day) face one felony count of double-voting and one count of “Offering to Vote More than Once” after allegedly casting a vote both in person and via absentee, according to Nessel’s office.
Two St. Clair Shores assistant clerks, Patricia Guciardo and Emily McClintock, were “each charged with one count of Falsifying Election Returns or one count of Offering to Vote more than Once,” while a third clerk, Molly Brasure, “faces two counts of Falsifying Election Returns or Records and two counts each of Voting Absentee and in Person, and Offering to Vote more than Once,” according to Nessel’s office.
The four voters allegedly attempted to vote in person during the August primary election but were “informed by local poll volunteers that their absentee ballots had already been received,” Nessel’s office said, adding that the Electronic Poll Book also showed that the four had each cast an absentee ballot. But Guciardo, McClintock, and Brasure allegedly told the election workers to “override the system warnings and issue in-person ballots,” according to Nessel’s office. Guciardo, McClintock, and Brasure allegedly took steps to mark the “previously issued, voted, and returned absentee ballots as rejected, rather than received.”
The voters were permitted to vote in person and each cast a ballot.
