Nevada man charged with voter fraud, accused of casting ballot using dead wife's name

The Nevada attorney general has filed two counts of voter fraud against a Las Vegas man who allegedly voted twice in the 2020 general election – including once in his late wife's name. 

Hartle had previously reported his wife's ballot as missing, but in reality he had returned it himself, the attorney general said. His wife died in 2017 but remained on the voter rolls.

The returned ballot carried a signature that matched the one on record. Hartle’s case had stood as a prime example of voter fraud in the state.
