OSHKOSH, Wis–The Winnebago County District Attorney’s office declines to press charges against a man that voted twice in the 2020 election. The Fox Crossing man submitted an absentee ballot and then voted again in person at the polls in November of 2020. Clerks eventually uncovered the double vote and contacted the D-A.
In a statement, former District Attorney Christian Gossett says the man is a non-English speaker who was confused by the process and thought the absentee ballot he had already sent in was for a different election. He was also listed twice in the voter registry under his first, middle and last name, as well as his first name and a hyphenated last name.
The case was listed in about 100 such situations reported to the State Elections Commission as part of its annual report.
