A Grand Rapids man helping to register minority voters allegedly signed up his dead brother to try to meet a quota mandated by a Massachusetts-based community organizing group, authorities said.[1]
Charges
Robin Anderson, 47, and Patty Wallace, 45, both former workers of the Community Voter Project, are charged with forgery. They could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.[1]
Anderson is accused by state Attorney General Mike Cox of submitting three fraudulent applications for Andrew Anderson, who died in 2001, to the city clerk's office. Wallace is charged with using the identities of four people without their knowledge while turning in registration cards to the Community Voter Project.[1]
Cox said both suspects admitted their fraud to Grand Rapids police investigators. Each said the quotas drove their fraudulent behavior, he said.
Ayodele Carroo, director of the voter registration drive, said the group's workers flagged Wallace's forms for possible fraud after noticing the handwriting on the documents appeared identical.[1]
