Ohio Judge Fines Three Visiting Campaigners Who Voted Illegally in the State
Three individuals who traveled to Ohio for a get-out-the-vote effort during the 2008 presidential campaign, have now been fined $1,000 each for voting in the state. In addition to that, they've each been given a year of probation and a 60-day suspended jail sentence.
On Tuesday, Daniel Hausman, 32, of New York City; Amy Little, 50, of New Paltz, NY; and Yolanda Hippensteele, 30, of California pleaded guilty to misdemeanor illegal voting charges.
Prosecutors say that all three cast early absentee ballots without meeting residency requirements. The county prosecutor had previously warned visiting campaigners that they could not vote in Ohio if they did not plan on staying beyond the election.
