US EditionA Minnesota woman who cast her dead mother’s ballot for Trump in 2024 must write an essay on voting
Danielle Christine Miller pleaded guilty to submitting a fraudulent absentee ballot for her deceased mother and faces probation plus an $885 fine, a judge ordered educational conditions.
- Last week, Danielle Christine Miller, 51, of Nashwauk, pleaded guilty to submitting her dead mother's absentee ballot for Republican Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election and was ordered to read a book and write a 10-page paper on voting.
- Local election officials alerted authorities in October when two absentee ballots were flagged, and Miller was charged last fall with three felonies including one from her deceased mother.
- According to court papers, Miller acknowledged filling out and signing her mother’s absentee ballot and signing her mother’s name as a witness on her own ballot; she told an investigator she was intoxicated when submitting the mail-in ballots.
- Minnesota Ninth Judicial District Judge Heidi Chandler on Wednesday dismissed the other two charges and sentenced Miller to up to three years of supervised probation and an $885 fine.
- The prosecutor described the educational sentence as intended to teach the importance of voting, including a required paper to deter similar conduct, which he called a `unique` but fair expectation.
