Stacey Kramer, a resident of St. Clair Shores, is set to face trial in Macomb County's 16th Circuit Court on charges related to alleged double voting during the August 2024 Primary Election. Kramer, aged 56, is accused of both voting absentee and in-person, leading to two counts: Voting Absentee and In-Person, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and Offering to Vote More than Once, with a maximum penalty of four years.

Attorney General Nessel highlighted the rarity of such cases but emphasized her office's dedication to addressing voter fraud. "Although cases of double voting are extremely rare, my office remains committed to prosecuting voter fraud," Nessel stated. She further noted that sufficient evidence was presented during the preliminary examination process to move the case forward. "Through the preliminary examination process, our prosecutors were able to exhibit sufficient evidence of the alleged offenses to advance this case toward a trial, and we are pleased to see this case proceed through the judicial process."

The allegations suggest that Kramer cast her vote in person at her local polling station in St. Clair Shores while also having submitted an absentee ballot for the same election. Both votes were reportedly counted.

Kramer's next court appearance is scheduled for November 4 before Judge James Maceroni at the 16th Circuit Court.
