Minnesota Woman Charged with Voter Fraud for Casting Deceased Mother's Ballot

Election safeguards in Itasca County caught the attempted fraud, leading to felony charges against a Trump supporter.

Danielle Christine Miller of Nashwauk, Minnesota, is facing three felony charges for submitting a mail ballot for her deceased mother.
Miller's mother, who passed away in August, was an ardent Trump supporter and had not received her absentee ballot before her death.
The fraudulent voting attempt was detected by election officials through routine checks against a state-provided list of deceased individuals.
Miller admitted to signing her mother's name on the ballot and as a witness, actions which carry potential penalties of up to five years in prison and fines.
This case highlights the effectiveness of election security measures in preventing voter fraud, which remains rare according to officials.
