Lebanon Man Pleads Guilty to Voting Twice in 2016 General Election

A Lebanon man has pleaded guilty to voting twice in the 2016 general election under two separate names, reports the Associated Press.

Reportedly, 65-year-old Vincent Marzello was arrested in 2020 and charged with wrongful voting, a felony charge. Authorities state that, in 2016, Marzello voted once under his own name and then under the name Helen Elisabeth Ashley.

Someone under the latter name had signed up to be an election inspector for the New Hampshire Democratic Party. A party spokesperson stated that it had no prior interaction with Ashley, and suspended the individual’s appointment after learning of the ongoing investigation.

Marzello’s sentence of 90 days was suspended for two years, and he is required to pay $300 of the $3,000 civil penalty. The rest of that amount has been suspended for five years.
