A man who served as a head election judge in a Minnesota township has been charged with two felony counts for allegedly letting 11 people vote even though they weren’t registered.

Officials began investigating after Hubbard County Auditor Kay Rave could not find any completed voter registration forms among ballots and other materials returned by Timothy Michael Scouton, 64, of Nevis, who had been head election judge in the Badoura Township precinct, according to a criminal complaint filed on Nov. 15.
