Pennsylvania man convicted of fraud for voting twice in 2020 presidential election

A Lehigh Valley man faces possible prison time after a federal jury convicted him of election fraud offenses on Wednesday.

Federal prosecutors said 32-year-old Matthew Laiss, who now lives in Bethlehem, voted twice for President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, doing so in two different states.

Court filings show Laiss voted via a mail-in ballot using the Ottsville, Bucks County home where his parents lived.

He did so after moving his primary residence to Florida, where he also went to a polling location to cast a ballot.

Laiss is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10.

He faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 to $250,000 fine for each of the charges on which he was convicted.
