The Baltimore Sun reports that former Maryland Democratic congressional candidate Wendy Rosen pled guilty to voter fraud charges for voting in two states. She will serve five years probation and pay a $5,000 fine.

“Rosen apologized to campaign supporters Friday but also said she hoped the incident would shine a light on what she described as more serious examples of voter fraud. She argued that some states take great efforts to keep the poor and minorities from voting, for instance. ‘What I did wasn’t right, it wasn’t smart, but it was [an act] of civil disobedience, not arrogance, and if it somehow … helps to bring this problem to light, it will be worth the pain I’ve endured over these last six months and into the future,’ Rosen said in a statement.”

Civil disobedience? Perhaps the full statement will make that sound less ridiculous than it sounds from this brief quote. If anyone has the full statement please send it along.
