Bloomington elections chief explains how 'safeguards' caught a rare case of alleged voter fraud

Bloomington’s top elections official said Wednesday that existing safeguards – including one that checks for people voting in other states – helped identify a rare case of alleged voter fraud in the 2024 election.

Bloomington Election Commission [BEC] Executive Director Luke Stremlau said state election officials send them a list of people who may have voted in another state. That triggers a BEC inquiry.

“In this case, it was brought to me in that manner. It’s something that was flagged in both Bloomington and out-of-state [Wisconsin] as well,” Stremlau said.

Of the 37,786 votes cast in Bloomington in the November election, the 55-year-old woman now facing felony charges was the only problematic ballot, Stremlau said. She’s accused of voting twice in the November election – once by mail-in ballot in Wisconsin and then again in person in Bloomington. Stremlau said it’s actually the first case of alleged voter fraud in the three years he’s led the BEC.

1. Notable for its extreme rarity.

The GOP would have you believe that it's done by millions of voters (all Dem), and that sweeping voter suppression measures are needed to counter it.
