After fraudulent votes are cast, some prosecutors in Minnesota are willing to go after voter fraud crimes. However, the key is to implement laws and procedures to prevent double voting.  In the Faribault Daily News, at least today, voter fraud exists. Tomorrow, the voter fraud deniers will claim it doesn’t. 

Voter fraud charges have been filed against two Somali women who
say they didn’t realize they voted twice in the general election last
November.

Farhiya Abdi Dool, 38, and Amina A Hassan, 31, each face one
felony charge for voting once by absentee ballot and once at a polling
place during the 2012 general election. The women, both naturalized U.S.
citizens, were charged June 21 via complaint summons and will make
their first appearances in Rice County District Court next Monday.

Neither woman has an attorney listed in court
documents as representing them. But supporters of Dool’s say that her
actions were an honest mistake that shouldn’t be punished with a felony
charge.

Each woman faces five years in prison and a $10,000 fine for the offense.
