Man Charged With Filing Fake Voter Registration Applications in Va.
NBC Washington ^ | 10/28/2016 | Julie Carey, David Culver

Posted on 10/28/2016 9:10:51 AM PDT by simpson96

A former resident of Alexandria, Virginia, is facing up to 40 years in prison after he allegedly used fake names to fill out voter registration applications.

Vafalay Massaquoi, 30, is facing four felony charges related to allegations of voter registration fraud, the Commonwealth's Attorney's Office said. Each charge carries a maximum of 10 years in prison.

In the spring of 2016, Massaquoi was registering new voters as an employee of a local advocacy group. According to the Commonwealth's Attorney, Massaquoi fabricated applications and used fake names to fill out the registration forms.

The fake applications were filed with the Alexandria Office of the General Registrar, who reported the issue to Commonwealth's Attorney Bryan Porter.

Porter said while the false applications were filed, no illegal votes were cast in this case.

"Since the fraudulent applications involved fictitious people, had the fraud not been uncovered the risk of actual fraudulent votes being cast was low," Porter said.

An arrest warrant was filed for Massaquoi in July, but he had already moved out of the area. After a search, Massaquoi was arrested near Philadelphia and extradited to Alexandria Oct. 27.

Massaquoi appeared in court Friday morning and is being held without bond.

GET PEOPLE TO VOTE LIKE YOU NEVER HAVE TRIED BEFORE!!!

IT will take massive turnout for Trump to override all the dem vote fraud. That is how Obama won his second term, but Romney had little enthusiasm.

Can you imagine showing up at some 1-star state-prison in Virginia....for a 15-year sentence, and the thugs ask what you did, and all you can say is that you did some fraudulent ballot stuff?

"...registering new voters as an employee of a local advocacy group."

ACORN? Why not name the group?

Yes, because people always create false voter identities for the express purpose of NOT using them. (eyeroll)

This is EXACTLY the type of fraud that voter I.D. would prevent.

The local Commonwealth’s Attorneys Office is involved. So if you see election laws being violated call the police and get a report on file. Get charges filed and pursue prosecution.

He’s black and being held without bond. The snappy li’l white guy that registered the dead people, not so much.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.

If the perp had done his job the way the democrats paid him to it instead of trying to scam them by being so blatantly fraudulent, he would probably have gotten a promotion instead of prosecution.

BTW, Alexandria is essentially all democrat.

He was in Philly? Gee, isn't that interesting...

Philadelphia station finds some votes cast by dead people

Perhaps he's a talented man in high demand!

ABSOLUTELY. Be sure that people know he might do 40 years in prison. Then send him.
