Voter Fraud Report

Heather Gulliot was charged by the state with one felony count of making false statements and election fraud after gathering fraudulent petition signatures. Gulliot, a campaign staffer for U.S. Rep. Scott Taylor, the GOP incumbent running for reelection in 2018 in the 2nd Congressional District of Virginia, signed notarized affidavits falsely claiming that she had witnessed voters signing ballot petitions to qualify Shaun Brown, a Democrat, on the ballot as an Independent in order to take away votes from the Democratic nominee (her boss's main opponent). The signatures were forgeries of deceased individuals and former residents. Gulliot pleaded guilty to an amended misdemeanor count of willful neglect of duty by an election official, and received a one-year suspended sentence, was placed on unsupervised probation for 12 months, and assessed $1,267 in fines and court costs.
