Alaska Public Radio reports:
Former Anchorage GOP Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux faces four new felony counts of voter misconduct, state prosecutors announced Thursday. LeDouxs former legislative aide, Lisa Simpson, also faces two new felony charges, which could increase the pressure on her to cooperate with authorities in their efforts to convict her former boss.
The charges against LeDoux came after state elections officials notified the Alaska State Troopers of what they described as irregularities with absentee ballot applications during her 2018 re-election campaign. The FBI also participated in the investigation.
Simpsons son Caden is also being charged with voter misconduct. Hes represented by a public defender, according to a state courts database.

More proof that Republicans always accuse us for what they're actually doing.

And tell him OMG you were right there really is voter fraud.

Every time there's a case of voter fraud, it seems there are always two constants: (1) it's a Republican or a Republican-adjacent conservative; and (2) it didn't make a fart-in-a-frying-pan's difference in the outcome.

It was a different ball game back then. They thought they
could get away with it because "everyone else was doing it"
and the Trump (so-called) Justice Dept would let her slide.
