BISMARCK, N.D. (Jan. 22) - A man here faces a misdemeanor charge of voting twice in the November general election.
Jamie Rodahl, 26, was charged on Thursday with voting twice in the same election. The misdemeanor is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,000 fine.
Burleigh County prosecutor Lloyd Suhr said the county's auditor's office discovered Rodahl's two votes during a routine check of the ballots.
"We don't know what his motivation was," Suhr said. "All we know is that the investigation revealed that two votes were cast by him."
Maj. Nick Sevart said Rodahl told investigators that he thought he'd sent his absentee ballot in too early, and voted again to make sure his vote counted.
Sevart said it was the first time Rodahl participated in an election. He said Rodahl also voted in the wrong precinct.
A court date has not been scheduled.
Like Hell!!!
First of all, he's 26 and voting in his first election???
Nothing like trying to make up for past apathy.
This guy knew PRECISELY what he was doing. Jail...oh, I don't know. How about barring him from voting ever again?
Pennsylvania was stolen for Gore and Kerry this way.
The city folk in Philly drop the absentee in the mailbox on their way to the polls...and when I write 'polls' in the plural, it's intentional...
