Western Pennsylvania man accused of voting for president in both Pennsylvania, Alaska in 2024<\/p>\n

\"RaquelAPOLLO, Pa. \u2014<\/p>\n

A Western Pennsylvania man is accused of voting twice during the November 2024 general election. <\/p>\n

Those allegations say 65-year-old Jeffrey Pope of Apollo voted for the office of president in both Alaska and in Pennsylvania. <\/p>\n

According to a release on the indictment, Pope, who was registered to vote in Pennsylvania since 1999, purchased a property in Alaska in 2023.<\/p>\n

The release said Pope completed and submitted a mail-in ballot to vote for president in Alaska around Oct. 18, 2024 and then around Oct. 22, 2024 he submitted a mail-in ballot for the same office in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Officials say Pope “knowingly and willfully” signed a false declaration that stated he was qualified to vote with the Pennsylvania ballot and had not already voted in the election.<\/p>\n

Pope is facing up to 10 years in prison, a fine of around $250,000 or both. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Western Pennsylvania man accused of voting for president in both Pennsylvania, Alaska in 2024 APOLLO, Pa. \u2014 A…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265446,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[112079,84382,112080,5889,38680,56035,112074,836,2955,112076,93701,81093,7478,2896,112073,70960,12186,112077,103,2008,28,30,29,26745,874,112078,86396,1944,60618,112075,1419,25823],"class_list":["post-265445","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-10-years-prison","tag-2024-election","tag-65-year-old-jeffrey-pope","tag-alaska","tag-allegation","tag-apollo","tag-double-voting","tag-election","tag-election-fraud","tag-false-declaration","tag-fed","tag-federal-charges","tag-general-election","tag-indictment","tag-jeffrey-pope","tag-mail-in-ballot","tag-november","tag-november-2024","tag-oct","tag-office","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news","tag-pope","tag-president","tag-property-in-alaska","tag-registered-voter","tag-release","tag-voter-fraud","tag-voting-twice","tag-western-pennsylvania","tag-western-pennsylvania-man"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265445","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265445"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265445\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265446"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265445"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265445"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265445"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
