“I was simply trying to execute a dying man’s wishes,” he added, saying that it would be wrong to characterize what he did as “just Trump voter fraud."

A Republican Ohio government official admitted to forging his deceased father's signature on an absentee ballot in the 2020 presidential election, calling his actions "an honest error."
Edward Snodgrass, a Porter Township trustee, told NBC News that he had been signing documents on his father's behalf for several years due his father breaking his arm.
"It was there with a pile of other paperwork," Snodgrass said of the absentee ballot. "I was sleep-deprived and not thinking clearly. But I'm not going to run away from it."
"I was simply trying to execute a dying man's wishes," he added, saying that it would be wrong to characterize what he did as "just Trump voter fraud."
The forged signature was discovered when a Delaware County election worker questioned the ballot, leading to an investigation that revealed it had been mailed one day after the trustee's father, H. Edward Snodgrass, had died.
Morrow County Assistant Prosecutor David Homer told NBC News that this was the first case of this nature that he was worked on.
Snodgrass was initially charged with illegal voting, a fourth-degree felony. However, as part of plea deal, he is expected to plead guilty to a reduced charge of falsification, serve three days in jail and pay a $500 fine, NBC reports. He is expected to be in court on July 9.
"It ain't over till the guy pleads guilty, and that's July the 9th," Homer said.

This is how a high functioning election works. Republicans just aren’t familiar with the expression if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Forging his father's name was an "honest mistake"? Did he mean to sign his mother's?
Dad, mom it's easy to confuse them when you cheating.
CH-ch-cheating? Who the Republicans? Couldn't be - they never cheat - they don't have to...
By signing the dead man's absentee balllot??? And then he claims he was sleep deprived...who signs stuff like that without at least giving it a quick read?
I know when I am tired I just start signing shit with someone else’s name. Pretty common thing actually.
One of the worst defenses I have ever heard. I’d give him the maximum sentence for even bringing that shit into my courtroom were I the judge.
Indeed. First he starts with it was "an honest error", then claims he was "sleep deprived" then claims he "was simply trying to execute a dying man's wishes" and concludes with "But I'm not going to run away from it". Really? At least three excuses in and then he says he's not trying to run away from responsibility? No wonder he voted for Trump twice, he obviously emulates dishonest Don's refusal to ever take responsibility for any wrongs or crimes he commits.
A Trump mini me..LOL
“Well you see, I robbed the gas station because I thought the money in the register was there for anyone to take, an honest error really, and I made that error because I was tired, and the reason I led the cops on a high speed chase was because it was my father’s dying wish. But you won’t hear any excuses from this guy!”
The guy from PA that got caught voting in his dead mother's name. What's with these guys and dead people?
Trumpism = Necrophilia..?
Honest error my ass. Well Trump, here is your voter fraud....FROM YOUR OWN FING PARTY!
I want to know when he will be brought up on charges for election fraud.
