(Radio Iowa) – An eastern Iowa man has been arrested and charged with vote fraud. Thirty-five-year-old Cody Swain of Marion is accused of voting in last year’s General Election after listing an address in Cedar Rapids on his voter registration form. The Cedar Rapids Gazette reports Swaim has lived in Marion for the past three years, but listed a Cedar Rapids apartment he moved out of in 2018 as his home address.

Swaim faces a charge of first-degree election misconduct. It’s a felony that carries a sentence of up to five years in prison.
