A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to casting a vote in the name of his deceased mother in an effort to reelect then-President Donald Trump, according to court records and Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer’s office.
Bruce Bartman, 70, received the sentence Friday after entering a guilty plea to two counts of perjury and one count of unlawful voting. Bartman will also lose his right to vote for four years, pursuant to Pennsylvania statute, the district attorney’s office said in a news release.
Voter records show that Bartman used Pennsylvania’s online voter-registration portal to register both his late mother, Elizabeth Bartman, and his deceased mother-in-law, Elizabeth Weihman, who died in 2019 – illegally registering both as Republican voters, the district attorney’s office said.

Saw something on this earlier in comparison to a case where a black woman who had been released from jail, but was still on probation, cast a vote in good faith not knowing her right to vote was still suspended after release while on probation. She cast a provisional ballot and her ballot was never actually counted. And to be clear, she was voting for herself and not trying to cast a fake vote - a case of no harm no foul. Still, she was found guilty of illegal voting and sentenced to five years in prison... Not parole or probation like the guy that jumped through numerous hoops to cheat. Actual prison time.
