Michele Toomey has been indicted for allegedly committing election fraud in Mobile County.
Toomey is charged with two felonies and a misdemeanor for voter harvesting, identity theft and forgery.
According to Mobile's FOX10, Toomey forged the signature of a man who was incapacitated at an unnamed nursing home where she was employed.
According to the indictment, Toomey tried to obtain an absentee ballot on September 26 by filling out a ballot application form with the victim's signature.
"Ms. Toomey filled out the voter application form and then used the victim's hand, with a pen in it, to draw an x on the signature line. And then submitted that to probate court in an effort to receive a ballot, an absentee ballot, for this incapacitated victim," Mobile County District Attorney Keith Blackwood told the outlet.
Blackwood said the victim was ruled ineligible to vote by probate court because of his incapacity, according to FOX10.
