Wrongful Voting Charges Issued By New Hampshire Attorney General
Ole Oisin of Hopkinton and Sigmund Boganski of Buckeye, Arizona, were both charged this month while a Lebanon man was also indicted.

CONCORD, NH — Two more people have been charged in New Hampshire with voter fraud, according to the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office.
On Tuesday, Ole Oisin, 46, of Hopkinton, was arrested on two wrongful voting charges.
Investigators accused Oisin of submitting a voter registration form and a domicile affidavit "containing false material information" so that he could vote during the Feb. 11 presidential primary. He was accused of reporting on a voter registration form that he was born in "Senegal, Nation of Islam," with a birthdate that stated he was 36. He also did not provide information proving he was a naturalized citizen, the state said. Oisin, investigators said, was actually born in Ireland. On a second form, he was accused of listing the wrong date of birth, which said he was 19, and birthplace, as "Senegal," a report stated.

Oisin will be arraigned on Jan. 12, 2021, in Concord Circuit Court. He faces up to one year in prison, a $2,000 fine, and the loss of any future right to vote when and if he becomes a naturalized citizen.
Another person charged recently by the attorney general's office is Sigmund Boganski, 75, of Buckeye, Arizona.

Boganski faces a single felony charge of voting in more than one state prohibited after being accused of voting in the 2016 general election in both Arizona and New Hampshire. Boganski, the state said, cast a ballot in New Hampton after voting in Arizona during the same election. A warrant was issued for his arrest earlier on Oct. 19.
Boganski will be arraigned in Rockingham County Superior Court on Dec. 10.
Vincent Marzello, 65, of West Lebanon, who was accused of creating a fake persona and voting both as himself and the persona during the 2016 general election, has also been indicted.
Marzello faces a single count of felony wrongful voting. His persona, "Helen Elisabeth Ashley," also signed up to be a poll watcher for the 2020 election for the New Hampshire Democratic Party — but was quickly removed from that position after the double-voting accusation was revealed.
Marzello also faces a civil enforcement action from the attorney general's office, accused of applying for and obtaining a ballot for himself and under the fake person's name. He is due in Grafton County Superior Court on Dec. 14.
These cases follow a number of other cases investigated by the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office in recent months with the help of local officials and private citizens who are spotting anomalies and other issues.
After being tracked down by Ed Naile of the Coalition of NH Taxpayers, a felony charge was filed against Michael Lasean Lewis of Atlanta, Georgia. He was accused of wrongful voting in 2016. Another recent case involved Mary Kate Lowndes of Washington, D.C., a peace corps director who was indicted on four voter fraud charges connected to the 2016 and 2018 election cycles. She was accused of registering and voting from a shopping mall and faces six to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines if convicted.
