electors, or the 60 percent of the 270 it needs to take effect."

    "Former offender acquitted in Iowa voter fraud case"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=59662>

Posted on March 25, 2014 8:37 pm <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=59662>by

AP 
<http://bigstory.ap.org/article/jury-acquits-ex-felon-iowa-voter-fraud-case>:

    A former drug offender who believed her voting rights had been
    restored when she cast a ballot last year was acquitted of perjury
    Thursday, a public rebuke of Iowa's two-year investigation into
    voter fraud.

    The 12-member jury took less than 40 minutes to reject the
    prosecution's argument that Kelli Jo Griffin intentionally lied on a
    voter registration form she filled out for a municipal election in
    the southeastern Iowa town of Montrose.
