Attorney General Dana Nessel charged three metro Detroit woman for attempted voter fraud during Michigan's 2020 general election, Nessel's office said in a news release Monday.
Trenae Myesha Rainey, 28, was charged with three counts of election law forgery and three counts of forging a signature on absentee ballot applications, which both carry five-year felonies, according to the news release.
Carless Clark, 59, was charged with one count of election law in impersonating another to vote at an election, which carries a four-year felony.
Nancy Juanita Williams, 55, was charged with 14 counts of false statement on an absentee ballot application, forging a signature on an application and election law forgery in several different courts, according to the news release.
Only an arraignment for Redford's 17th District Court is scheduled for Nov. 2 at 8:45 a.m. "These cases highlight the scrutiny applications and ballots undergo throughout the election process, as well as the thorough investigative process that ensues when instances of attempted fraud are suspected," Nessel said.
"Our election system is secure, and today's charges demonstrate that in the rare circumstances when fraud occurs we catch it and hold the perpetrators accountable," SOS Jocelyn Benson added.
"These charges also send a clear message to those who promote deceitful claims about widespread fraud: the current protocols we have in place work to protect and ensure the integrity of our elections. It's time to share that truth and stop spreading lies to the contrary."
