PENNSYLVANIA (WJAC) — Federal authorities say a western Pennsylvania man is accused of violating federal voting laws after he allegedly submitted mail-in ballots in two states during the 2024 Presidential Election.
Investigators with the Department of Justice have indicted 65-year-old Jeffrey Pope, of Apollo, after learning that he reportedly voted in both Pennsylvania and Alaska.
According to the DOJ, while Pope has been a registered Pennsylvania voter since 1999, he purchased property in Alaska in 2023.
Federal investigators allege that during the 2024 election cycle, Pope then submitted mail-in ballots in both states.
If convicted, authorities say Pope faces up to 10 years in federal prison, as well as a $250,000 fine.
