Man charged with wife's murder illegally cast her ballot for Trump
The county clerk immediately knew something strange was going on last fall. A mail ballot had arrived from Suzanne Morphew a woman missing since May.
Theres posters all over our town, said Lori Mitchell, the clerk and recorder in Chaffee County, a Colorado community of about 20,000 rocked by Morphews disappearance last Mothers Day. Constant things in the news about her. Theres people at the grocery store passing out fliers.
The ballot didnt have Morphews signature as required, Mitchell said. But someone had signed on the witness line: The womans husband, Barry Morphew.
I was stunned, Mitchell recalled. I couldnt believe it. I was like, what in the world is going on?
For a long time, she said, it was just something fishy that her office reported to law enforcement. Then Barry Morphew was charged this month with murdering his wife. This week, things got stranger still: Barry was also accused of casting his wifes ballot in a fraudulent vote for President Donald Trump.
