Voter Fraud Report

The results of the 2023 Caddo Parish Sheriff Runoff Election, which was decided by one vote, were overturned by a judge due to at least 11 illegal votes that were cast. John Nickelson and Henry Whitehorn won an earlier primary election and faced each other in the November 18 runoff election. The results of the election showed Whitehorn receiving 21,621 votes and Nickelson receiving 21,620 votes. The court found that 2 individuals voted twice in the election, by mail and again in person. Four individuals voted who were under court interdiction (declared mentally incompetent) and thus ineligible to vote. Five individuals submitted absentee ballots that did not have proper signatures or comply with witness requirements under Louisiana law. Due to the illegal votes, it was impossible to determine the result of the election and it was declared void. A new election was ordered to "ensure the public's right to untainted election results." The new election resulted in Whitehorn winning.
