GOP Elections Official Charged For Fraudulently Submitting Ballots & Pleading Guilty

As usual, republican.



A Republican official helping lead the handling of local elections in a county along New York’s Atlantic coast was caught fraudulently obtaining and submitting mail-in ballots in the names of more than half a dozen local voters and was set to plead guilty, reports indicated.

The official is Jason T. Schofield, an elections commissioner in Rensselaer County, and he would also be resigning from his leadership post in connection with his guilty plea, per reports. Schofield’s attorney Danielle Neroni confirmed the news, saying Schofield is “scheduled for a change of plea and with his change of plea he will be resigning from his position,” according to the Albany Times Union. He will also be cooperating in the ongoing FBI investigation. He’s not the only official currently or recently involved in local politics who was accused of ballot fraud. Kimberly Ashe-McPherson, a now past city council member in the city of Troy, also pleaded guilty to similar charges after submitting fraudulent ballots in elections last year.
I sigh in your general direction.
