A Colorado man charged with killing his wife is also accused of illegally casting her mail-in ballot for former president Donald Trump.
Barry Morphew, whose wife Suzanne has been missing since May 2020, illegally voted for Trump in November by signing the witness line on her ticket and sending it in, NBC News reports.
Morphew told Federal investigators he submitted the ballot “because I wanted Trump to win,” and “just thought (I’d) give him another vote.”
According to law enforcement officials, Morphew defended his actions by saying everyone else was cheating and he thought it was okay for a husband to cast his wife’s vote.
