An Alabama legislator has agreed to plead guilty to a felony voter fraud charge that he used a fraudulent address to run for office in a district where he did not live, according to an agreement filed Thursday.
Republican Rep. David Cole of Huntsville will plead guilty to a charge of voting in an unauthorized location, according to a plea agreement filed in state court. He will resign from office on the day he enters his guilty plea.
“Dr. Cole admits and takes full responsibility for the mistakes he made in the political process. He entered the political process to serve his community,” Bill Espy, a lawyer representing Cole, said in a statement.
