(182,788 posts)Mail Carrier in West Virginia Pleads Guilty to Attempted Election Fraud
Five mail-in ballot requests were altered from Democrat to Republican, federal prosecutors in West Virginia said.
The mail carrier, Thomas Cooper, 47, of Dry Fork, W.Va., pleaded guilty on Thursday to one count of attempted election fraud and one count of injury to the mail, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorneys Office in the Northern District of West Virginia.
Prosecutors said that Mr. Cooper admitted to altering eight primary ballot request forms with black ink. On five of those forms, the political party was changed from Democrat to Republican, officials said, and they would have resulted in Democratic voters receiving ballots featuring Republican primary candidates.
