MT. CLEMENS, Mich. (Michigan News Source) – Macomb County Prosecutor Pete Lucido said he will not press charges after an investigation into allegations that four individuals attempted to cast two ballots during the Aug. 6 primary.

Lucido said the police report received by his office indicated the individuals in question had tried to spoil their absentee ballots, believed they had spoiled their absentee ballots, and then proceeded to cast a ballot in person. He said the report submitted to the prosecutor’s office by police did not indicate “malicious or criminal intent displayed by any of the voters” and that each one claimed “an honest mistake.”
