CINCINNATI -- A Connecticut man has admitted that he did not live in Ohio when he cast an early ballot for the presidential election in Cincinnati.
Kevin Duffy, of Manchester, Conn., pleaded guilty in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court on Monday to attempted false voter registration.
The 24-year-old's attorney says Duffy got "caught up" in the excitement of the election while visiting his sister in Cincinnati.
He cast his ballot Oct. 4 during a weeklong period during which new voters could register and immediately cast a ballot.
Duffy later told county elections officials not to count his vote.
He was sentenced to one year of probation, a $1,000 fine and 250 hours of community service. He also agreed to cooperate with an investigation of alleged improper voting in the county.
