Endalyn Adams Pleads Guilty to Election Fraud

In September 2008, Endalyn Adams of Milwaukee was charged with election fraud.

Today, Adams pleaded guilty.

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

A Milwaukee woman has pleaded guilty to election fraud for submitting dozens of fake names and addresses to city election officials during a voter registration drive.

Endalyn Adams, 22, is to be sentenced by Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Thomas Donegan on March 31. She could face up to 3 1/2 years in prison and a $10,000 fine on the felony count, but Assistant District Attorney Bruce Landgraf is seeking three years of probation under a plea agreement.

Adams was one of three voter registration workers charged with fraud in connection with the 2008 presidential election, and the first to plead guilty. Another worker, Adam Mucklin, is due in court March 23, and a third, Frank Walton, remains at large. Other cases remain under investigation.

All of those charged were paid by the Community Voters Project to sign up voters; some of those under investigation were also paid by the voters project or by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

I predict that Adams won't spend a day in prison for this.

I doubt that she'll be fined a dime.

I don't think she'll even get a slap on the wrist.

Three years of probation?

Wow. That will deter others from defrauding elections. Sure it will.
