Voter Fraud Report

Zameahia J. Ismail was charged by the state with one felony count of registering to vote in more than one precinct and with one felony count of voting twice in the 2017 Hennepin County election. She registered and voted in-person in two different precincts in Hennepin County. She voted in St. Louis Park where she actually lives and voted a second time in Minneapolis after being encouraged by an acquaintance to vote for Abi Warsame, a Democrat candidate for Minneapolis City Council. Ismail voted in Minneapolis without having to provide any identification because her acquaintance vouched for her identity. In exchange for the state dismissing the double-voting charge, she agreed to plead guilty to the charge of registering in more than one precinct.  Ismail was sentenced to a year in prison and ordered to serve 20 days with the remainder stayed pending successful completion of two years of supervised probation.  She also assessed fined and fees totaling $78.
