AK: Republican former legislator's voter-misconduct trial moved to late July
Former Rep. Gabrielle LeDoux, accused of misconduct during the 2018 primary and general elections, will face trial starting July 22, a state judge said on Monday.
If the trial comes to pass — it’s been delayed at least three times before — it will take place more than four years after prosecutors accused LeDoux and two other people of violating state laws with their get-out-the-vote effort.
Elections officials reported irregularities in the 2018 primary election within LeDoux’s district, leading to an FBI-assisted investigation.
Prosecutors filed charges shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic emergency. Trials were suspended during the emergency, delaying LeDoux’s case, and motions filed by the attorneys delayed matters further. A trial had been scheduled for late 2023, but scheduling conflicts again postponed matters.
