PITTSBURGH — A South Park man was charged with casting a vote on behalf of his wife who had been dead since 2013.

According to police, the Allegheny County Elections Bureau contacted police after discovering a ballot had been filled out by Judy Presto. Presto was confirmed as having died in 2013 and was survived by her husband, Francis Presto.

Police contacted Presto who told them his mail had been stolen and he had to file a report with the postal service. After searching postal service records, police couldn’t find any record of a report being filed.

An attorney for Presto then contacted police, saying his client told him he had been the victim of credit car fraud and identity theft after having gotten rid of his computer during the township’s electronics recycling program. Investigators said they found no reports of identity theft or credit card fraud made by Presto.

A search of state election records found that someone registered Judy Presto to vote in August. Someone had also requested a mail in ballot on her behalf.

I wonder how he voted.

Wouldn’t surprise me if it was republican, otherwise, they’d never be going after him.

No, it was Ms. Veronica Crabtree’s husband. She was the bus driver in South Park and they killed her off.

You have to pay the communists in advance to avoid this kind of issue.

As he is finding out, it is only legal for dead Democrats to vote.

Presto is a registered Republican, but there's no information on how the ballot was cast.

As of Friday morning, the criminal complaint is listed as a warrant and it was unclear if police had taken Presto into custody.

Yes, sure? And if you buy that I have a bridge to sell you in Arizona.

I know a number of Republicans who register Democrat to vote in the Dem primary and then for the Republican in the General Election.

I figured that right from the get go.

They never go after fraud when it’s a democrat.
