A Wisconsin man has been charged with casting multiple ballots in four elections to include voting five times in the 2012 gubernatorial recall election for Scott Walker.
Wisconsin’s WISN reports that Robert Monroe is a health insurance executive and confirms he donated money to Republican state Sen. Alberta Darling.
The Wisconsin Journal Sentinel reports that according to the complaint:
Monroe cast two ballots in the April 2011 Supreme Court election, two in the August 2011 Alberta Darling recall election, five in the Scott Walker-Tom Barrett recall, one illegal ballot in an August 2012 primary, and two ballots in the November 2012 presidential election.
In the presidential election, Monroe cast an in-person absentee ballot in Shorewood on Nov. 1 and drove a rental car to Lebanon, Ind., where he showed his Indiana driver’s license to vote in person on election day, Nov. 6, the complaint charges. Monroe owns a house there, according to the complaint.
According to the Journal Sentinel, Monroe faces a total of 13 felony charges to include “various counts of election fraud, including registering in more than one place, providing false information to an election official, voting more than once and voting as a disqualified person.” If convicted, “each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 18 months in prison, two years of extended supervision and a $10,000 fine.”
