A Pennsylvania man is facing criminal charges for allegedly requesting and casting ballots for dead relatives.
The Delaware County District Attorney announced the charges against Bruce Bartman Monday.
“We are charging him today with two counts of perjury for making false statements to register two deceased individuals who are his relatives both his mother and his mother-in-law. He made false statements through the state’s assure system to register them as voters and he’s also charged with making an unlawful vote because he actually submitted an absentee ballot for his deceased mother, a ballot that was counted,” District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said at a press conference.
Stollsteimer says both women were registered as Republicans and Bartman told investigators he had done so to help reelect Donald Trump.
Bartman reportedly used the driver’s license number for his mother, who died more than a decade ago, and was able to obtain a ballot.
