Cross State Check Payoff: Guilty of Double Voting in Arizona

“Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett announced Tuesday that Carol Hannah of Bullhead City was convicted of a felony last week for voting in both Arizona and Colorado.

Hannah was accused of receiving a Colorado early ballot from Adams County by mail and returning it in October 2010. She subsequently cast a ballot at a polling place in Bullhead City.


Hannah faces between six months and 2.5 years in prison when she’s sentenced.


She was identified through a system that cross-checks voter registrations with other states.”

But why would someone risk jail by voting twice when they couldn’t swing an election?  Another example of human behavior to befuddle the purportedly enlightened.
