JB Van Hollen for Attorney General - Two charged with voting illegally in 2008

Two more Milwaukee residents have been charged by the state's Election Fraud Task Force with voting in the 2008 presidential election while still on probation for felonies.

David Lewis, 39, and Ramon Martinez, 50, each face a single count of voting by a disqualified person. In addition, Lewis is charged with providing false information to election officials.

Lewis was on probation for a 2004 conviction for failure to support a child.

Martinez, 50, was convicted of theft from a business and had been sentenced just a month before the Nov. 4, 2008, election, according to the complaint. He was working to register other voters when his probation officer reminded him he couldn't vote, the complaint states.

Each offense is punishable by up to 3 ½ years in prison.

Also Tuesday, a Milwaukee couple charged in March with voting twice in the 2008 presidential election were bound over for trial after a preliminary hearing. Herbert and Suzanne Gunka each voted absentee about a week earlier, but on election day also visited their local polling place. When they didn't see their names marked in the poll book as having voted absentee, they've said, they became convinced their first votes had not been counted, and voted again.
