There have been fewer than two dozen voter fraud convictions in the last decade, according to the Pennsylvania Commission on Sentencing, which was created in 1978 and tracks criminal sentences in the state for statistical purposes with the goal of having consistent sentencing guidelines.
In 2008 and 2010, there were a total of 11 convictions for voter fraud in Pennsylvania. Eight of those convictions were for a single person, who tried to misrepresent himself multiple times at different polling places during the 2008 election, according to the commission’s statistics.
Mark Bergstrom, executive director of the commission, said the number of convictions would indicate the issue is not a major problem for the Pennsylvania criminal justice system.
Tony...$10,000.00 is a lot to spend to prevent citizens from voting!!
