The Orlando Sentinel reports:
Two residents from The Villages confessed to voter fraud charges after filing two ballots in the 2020 Presidential election, court records show. Charles F. Barnes and Jay Ketcik pleaded guilty to casting more than one ballot in an election, a third-degree felony that could have resulted in a maximum five-year prison sentence.
According to the pre-trial intervention documents, the prosecution of Barnes, 64, and Ketcik, 63, will be deferred if they abide by a series of court-ordered requirements set by the office of Ocala-based State Attorney Bill Gladson.
Court records show the men will avoid further punishment if they regularly meet with a supervising officer, complete 50 hours of community service and attend a 12-week adult civics class, among a handful of other requirements.
Click Orlando reports:
Barnes and Ketcik are among four residents of The Villages who were accused of casting multiple ballots in both Florida and their original home states during the 2020 election.
All four faced a maximum of five years in prison if a jury convicted them of the third-degree felony. Joan Halstead, 71, and John Rider, 61, are still awaiting trial for allegedly casting multiple ballots, court records show. Both have pleaded not guilty.
We keep hearing about the scourge of voter fraud from hordes of undocumented immigrants, but in reality, it just keeps on being white dudes from The Villageshttps://t.co/UpHdeklunD
