A Pennsylvania man was sentenced to five years’ probation after admitting to casting an illegal ballot during the Nov. 3 election.

Bruce Bartman, 70, apologized to Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Cappelli during a hearing on Friday, saying he “made a stupid mistake” when he illegally cast a mail-in ballot for his deceased mother.
