Michigan Democrat gets 6 months house arrest for ballot box sabotage
Fox News
Former Flint Township, Michigan Clerk Kathy Funk was sentenced to six months of house arrest for tampering with a ballot box to dissuade a recount in a primary she narrowly won.
In January, Funk pleaded no contest to misconduct in office. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt but is used as such at sentencing.
Funk had won the Democratic nomination by just 79 votes out of about 5,300. A recount was not conducted, and she subsequently won the general election that fall. Investigators say she sabotaged the ballot box after the primary election, an act that would make those ballots ineligible for a recount.
