Officials finally found a case of a dead person voting, and it was a Republican pretending to be his dead mom trying to vote for Trump
Bruce Bartman has been charged with unlawful voting and perjury over allegations that he pretended to be his dead mother to cast a ballot in the November election for President Donald Trump in Pennsylvania.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer
announced the charges in a press release Monday. Bartman was arraigned Friday and released on $US100,000 bail,
according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. If convicted on all charges, the 70-year-old Bartman could spend up to 19 years in prison.
Prosecutors said Bartman registered two dead people — his mother, Elizabeth Bartman, and his mother-in-law, Elizabeth Weihman — as Republican voters in August. He used the state’s online voter-registration portal, which allows residents to register to vote using their driver’s licence number or the last four digits of their Social Security number, prosecutors said.
He used his mother-in-law’s Social Security number to register, which was flagged in the state system as belonging to someone who is dead, prosecutors added, but the software sent a letter addressed to her to confirm whether she was alive. Bartman lied on the form and pretended to be Weihman, prosecutors said, but ultimately did not request an absentee ballot in her name.
Bartman also registered his dead mother to vote and ultimately successfully cast a ballot for Trump and other Republicans in her name, prosecutors said.
