A couple who split their time between New Hampshire and Massachusetts pled guilty on Monday to charges that they voted in both states during the November 2016 election.
The New Hampshire Attorney General’s office indicted Grace and John S. Fleming in September 2018 on charges that they committed two election violations each: voting in more than one state and “wrongful voting,” which prohibits voting more than once for any one office….
Assistant Attorney General Nicholas Chong Yen, who oversees the state’s election law unit, says that the Flemings’ plea agreement required them to acknowledge that they “knowingly” violated voting laws.
Chong Yen said the state is still pursuing several alleged wrongful voting cases in the 2016 elections, but he also emphasized that these handful of cases are not indicative of a systemic problem, and so-called voter fraud remains rare.
