Felony voter fraud charges against a 30-year-old Minnetonka man for casting two ballots in the 2020 election have been suspended and he was instead sanctioned to a day of community service. Though fairly uncommon to see such cases in Minnesota — election officials say the voting-related crime rate is statistically zero — Alexander Leonard Peck faced two counts of unlawful voting and registering in more than one precinct, according to charges filed in Hennepin County District Court last month. Peck admitted that he knew he could only vote once in an election and apologized to the Edina police officer who investigated the report of voter fraud.
