Democrat pleads guilty to voter/election fraud

In some of these instances, according to the indictment, Schofield also took possession of the absentee ballots issued to these voters, brought the ballots to the voters, and had the voters sign absentee ballot envelopes but not actually vote; this allowed Schofield or another person to cast votes in these voters' names, in Rensselaer County's primary and general elections held in 2021," according to a September news release by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of New York.

There are reportedly 12 counts in Schofield's indictment. For each, he faces up to five years behind bars and a fine of up to $250,000.

Trump and other GOP politicians have largely cast blame on the country's Democrats for what they allege amounts to widespread voter fraud.

Back in September, the FBI arrested Schofield outside his home on charges that he'd illegally used at least eight voters' personal information to obtain and file absentee ballots during last year's primary and general elections. Even still, Rensselaer County's democrat-led legislature earlier this month reappointed him to a second term lasting four years, per Northeast public radio network WAMC.



They even voted him in for another four years after knowing hes been involved with voter fraud and election fraud.
