Itasca County Woman Pleads Guilty to Voter Fraud
Danielle Javorina admitted to submitting a fraudulent absentee ballot in her deceased mother’s name and faces supervised probation and an $885 fine.
- Wednesday, Danielle Christine Javorina pleaded guilty to voter fraud, entering a Norgaard plea after admitting she submitted an absentee ballot in her recently deceased mother's name.

- Experts say such cases are exceedingly rare, and the Associated Press reviewed 25.5 million votes in six swing states after 2020, finding very few possible instances.
