Two Residents of Trump-Loving Retirement Community Plead Guilty to 2020 Voter Fraud – By William Vaillancourt (Rolling Stone) / April 13, 2022
The Villages is a hotbed of MAGA activism. It’s also a hotbed of double voting
Two residents of the Florida retirement community The Villages pleaded guilty to voting more than once in the 2020 presidential election, multiple outlets reported Wednesday.
Charles Barnes, 64, and Jay Ketcik, 63, could face five years in prison for the third-degree felony, but will avoid jail time as long as they participate in 50 hours of community service and take a three-month civics class, among other requirements outlined by the state attorney.
“If you comply with these conditions during the period of deferred prosecution, no criminal prosecution concerning this charge will be instituted in this county,” wrote State Attorney Bill Gladson. “If the defendant violates the terms of this agreement, and this case is returned to the court’s docket, this document shall be admissible as an admission of guilt.”
