I wonder how many more people have done this, without being caught!
MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Milwaukee woman who voted twice in the presidential election said today that she’s been assured she will not be prosecuted for double voting.
Edna Byrd, 51, voted by absentee ballot before the Nov. 4 election and said she was curious whether she’d be allowed to vote again on Election Day at her neighborhood polling site.
She said she figured workers would turn her away or the machine wouldn’t accept her ballot. She said she was shocked when she was allowed to vote a second time for President-elect Obama, who won Wisconsin by a wide margin.
“It wasn’t something I intentionally planned but I was curious to see, would they allow that or kick it out?” she said in a phone interview. “They looked up my name. They gave me the ballot. I said, ’I’m going to go ahead and put this in and this machine should kick it out’. It never did. I said, ’Oh, boy.’ I came right home and called (authorities).”
