slide5-d.a._recieves_complaints_of_voter_interference.pngAmador County – The County has received complaints from voters regarding contacts made to them by others supporting a political cause, according to a warning issued Tuesday by District Attorney Todd Riebe. The election season is fast upon us and the Amador County District Attorneys Office and the Elections Office would like to remind citizens that interfering with a person’s lawful right to vote may subject them to criminal liability. Unlawful conduct includes conduct intended to coerce, intimidate, induce or compel a person to refrain from voting or knowingly challenging a person’s right to vote without probable cause or on fraudulent or spurious grounds or advising any person that he or she is not eligible to vote or registered to vote when in fact that person is eligible or registered. Suspected violations of the law should be reported to law enforcement. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
