Six local residents are accused of illegally voting during the 2012 election. The Laramie County Sheriff’s Department arrested them this week on voter fraud charges.
…Laramie County Clerk Debbye Lathrop said the revelations came about after her staff crosschecked the 2012 voter list with the Wyoming Department of Criminal Investigation’s database. She said her staff has to manually enter the names of people who voted using same-day registration to check their eligibility status. That process took weeks after the election occurred. She guessed it took so long for the cases to then move through the system because law enforcement has higher priorities to pursue on daily basis.
