HOLDERNESS, N.H. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A man from Belmont and Holderness, New Hampshire has been indicted on one count of wrongful voting in the 2016 presidential election after he allegedly checked in to vote for a second time.

According to the New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella, 83-year-old Richard Rosen checked into a polling place in Belmont after he had already cast an absentee ballot in Holderness. Rosen was charged with voter fraud, which can carry between 3.5 to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $2,000. On top of the jail time and fine, New Hampshire election law mandates that Rosen would lose his right to vote in the state should he be convicted.
