Former State Senator Dennis Bradley on Wednesday is due in state court following his arrest two weeks ago by state police on multiple counts of absentee ballot fraud including opening the sealed ballot of an elderly woman whose home video captured his actions against state law. Bradley had instructed her to cross out her vote for Judge of Probate Paul Ganim in favor of his brother Mark who lost the Democratic primary to Ganim.
Meanwhile, Dennis Bradley is scheduled for sentencing in December following his March conviction on election fraud charges stemming from his run for state senate in 2018. His state law license has also been suspended.
His federal conviction, however, did nothing to deter his political activities as he embedded himself into the failed race of his brother also under multiple investigations for election fraud including voting multiple times in two states in the same election cycle.
Alesia Dennis advised state investigators that she was “shocked” and “intimidated” when Dennis Bradley knocked on her door in July. She called local police and then filed a complaint with the State Elections Enforcement Commission that referred her case for criminal investigation.
Ultimately, Dennis says, she cast her ballot for Ganim during the early vote which cancelled out her absentee.
Your honor, It’s all a misunderstanding.
