 At least 31 people in Michigan could face felony charges for voting twice during last November's presidential election.
Chris Thomas, state elections director, said the residents voted twice, first with an absentee ballot and then in person.
Their names were turned over to the attorney general's office for possible prosecution.
Voting twice, or even attempting to do so, is a felony."It's not acceptable," Thomas said.
Fourteen of the 31 were in Detroit. Officials believe Detroit poll workers didn't catch the double votes because they weren't given an updated list of voters who had used an absentee ballot.It's not known which candidate got the votes.
Ballots are anonymous."There are processes in place to stop this. In these 31 cases, they didn't work," Thomas said.
