Days after the November 2020 election, Kirk Hartle appeared on Las Vegas television, his brow furrowed and voice tinged with disbelief.
Someone, he said, had intercepted the ballot mailed to his wife, Rosemarie, and cast it in her stead. Rosemarie Hartle died of breast cancer in 2017.
“That is pretty sickening to me, to be honest with you,” Hartle told KLAS-TV.
Last week, the state’s Democratic attorney general, working with Nevada’s Republican secretary of state, announced that investigators had cracked the case. Hartle, 55, was charged with two counts of fraud: voting more than once in the same election and voting using another person’s name. He allegedly forged his late wife’s signature to cast the ballot she’d been sent.
Hartle is due in court next month and “looks forward to responding to the allegations,” his attorney said. Both charges are felonies, each punishable by a prison term up to four years and a fine up to $5,000.
Republicans again. Always projecting their crimes. You can rest assured that EVERY Republican attack regarding voting and fraud is a confession. This is the 2nd Trump supporter to either kill their wife so they couldn't vote for Biden or use their dead wife's application to request a ballot then commit VOTE FRAUD.
Republicans are going to have to be put into time out if they can't get their shit together.
