Louisiana Sheriff Election Results Voided Due to Voter Fraud

Judge Orders New Election After Finding At Least 11 Illegal Votes Cast

A Louisiana judge has voided the results of the Caddo Parish sheriff election due to voter fraud, ordering a new election to be held.
The initial results of the November 18th election showed Democrat Henry Whitehorn defeating Republican John Nickelson by one vote.
A recount discovered three additional votes for each candidate, but the election was contested by Nickelson who filed a lawsuit arguing the count was done too quickly and could not be accurate.
Judge E. Joseph Bleich ruled that there were at least 11 illegal votes cast and counted, making it impossible to know the true vote count.
Whitehorn's team has appealed the decision, and the case could potentially reach the Louisiana Supreme Court.
