Collins Jr. is a convicted sex offender whose rights had not been restored and therefore was ineligible to vote. He completed four separate voter registration applications between 2020 and 2022 and voted in person in the 2020 General Election. Collins Jr. pleaded no contest to all counts and was sentenced to 36 months’ probation for each count (the sentences to run concurrently), assessed $53 per month for costs of supervision and $518 in court costs, and ordered to complete 200 hours of community service.
