A grand jury on Thursday accused former state Senate candidate Carlos Villanueva of illegally applying for absentee ballots in the names of three dead people in 2014.
In an interview, Villanueva said he didn’t break the law and will plead not guilty.
He was simply testing the election system, he said, to make sure safeguards were in place to prevent people from voting under the names of dead people. Election officials should have flagged the requests and refused to mail the ballots, he said.
“I would never do anything criminal,” Villanueva said. “That is not me.”

He was simply testing the election system
Sounds a little bit like the “doing research” excuse when they catch a high profile pervert with kiddie porn.
And he had to test it 3 times just to make sure!
AAH-—the old “I was only testing the system” excuse.
Like “I only robbed the bank to see if the alarm company was doing it’s job”.
.
They won’t allow the dead to be purged from the rolls... just damn.
Lock his ass up and fine his ass to hell. Stop this crap.
Hmmm, well, in following the example set by my public officials I think I'll rob my neighbor, then buy some cocaine and sniff a bunch of it, then pick up a hooker or two then hop in my car and go 100mph in a residential zone (just to see if cops are doing their job).
Child porn? Doing research, I was.
LOL!! I bet he gets off from our corrupt liberal courts
Not a surprise. I’m only surprised we don’t hear about this more often.
He should invoke the Clinton defense. He never intended to do anything wrong.
Hey like the GEICO commercial says..Democrat voter fraud..its what they do
Did he blame it on a video too and say he “doesn’t recall” 38 times, worked for Clinton
I’m surprised he got caught Eric Holder told us that voter fraud is almost non-existent I don’t think he would lie...
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! Snooork! BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yeah, Officer, I wasn't robbing that bank, I was just testing the alarm system. Really.
You're a Democrat.
You're a criminal.
Now put this blindfold on and stand against that wall..

The guy was lucky he wasn't indicted. Oh, wait... Are the people in Albuquerque not familiar with the term?
This simply cannot be true.
My TV has told me over and over that only those “CRAZY PEOPLE” care about this, and think it happens.
Your not CRAZY! are, Mr. Sheeple? Of course you’re not...
