South Dakota resident pleads guilty to voting twice

A guilty plea in a double voting case.


A South Dakota man accused of voting twice in a school board election has pleaded guilty. Craig
Guymon, of Mitchell, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a felony voter fraud
charge. It carries a maximum punishment of two years in prison and a
$4,000 fine.
The Daily Republic
newspaper reports that the 54-year-old Guymon told a judge he voted in
the polls in the morning of June 4 and voted at the auditor’s office by
absentee ballot that afternoon.

The Secretary of State, Jason Gant, has stated the fraud exposes a vulnerability in the system and called for reform.
