I-Team: Las Vegas man, whose case GOP highlighted as voter fraud, to plead guilty to voting twice in 2020 election using dead wife's ballot #8NN8newsnow.com/i-team/i-team-…
Rosemarie Hartle, of Las Vegas, died in 2017 at age 52 from breast cancer, Kirk Hartle, told the I-Team last November. A ballot for Rosemarie was issued in October 2020 and later received by the county, but Kirk said the ballot never came to his house.
As part of the plea deal, Hartle will avoid prison time and will have to serve probation. If he stays out of trouble for a year, he will be able to withdraw his plea and instead plead guilty to a charge of conspiracy to commit voting more than once in the same election.
“That is pretty sickening to me to be honest with you,” Kirk Hartle told me last year. “It was disbelief. It made no sense to me, but it lent some credence to what you’ve been hearing in the media about these possibilities and now it makes me wonder how pervasive is this?”
During a press conference a week after the election, state party leaders and representatives for former President Donald Trump’s campaign cited Hartle's case as an example of deceased voters having ballots cast. bit.ly/3Fpc06t
