Metro Detroit Woman Accused Of Double Voting Will Stand Trial

ST. CLAIR SHORES, MI — A St. Clair Shores woman will stand trial after prosecutors said she voted twice in Michigan's 2024 August Primary Election, according to the Attorney General's Office.

Stacey Kramer, 56, was charged with one count of voting absentee and in-person and one count of offering to vote more than once. Her next court date is scheduled for Nov. 4.

If convicted, she faces up to five years in prison for the voting absentee and in-person charge and up to four years for the offering to vote more than once charge.

Prosecutors said Kramer voted in-person at her local polling location on election day in St. Clair Shores for the August Primary, despite knowing that she had already returned an absentee ballot for the same election.

"Although cases of double voting are extremely rare, my office remains committed to prosecuting voter fraud," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said. "Through the preliminary examination process, our prosecutors were able to exhibit sufficient evidence of the alleged offenses to advance this case toward a trial, and we are pleased to see this case proceed through the judicial process."
