A Minnesota judge ordered a woman to read a book after conviction for casting a fraudulent vote for Donald Trump in last year's election.

Danielle Christine Miller, 51, of Nashwauk, was charged with three felonies after local officials flagged a pair of absentee ballots for fraud and found one of those had been cast on behalf of her late mother. She pleaded guilty last week to intentionally making or signing a false certificate, reported the Associated Press.

"According to court papers, Miller told an investigator that she had filled out her mother’s absentee ballot and signed her mother’s name on its signature envelope," the AP reported. "She said her mother was an avid Trump supporter and wanted to vote for him, but she died in August 2024 before receiving an absentee ballot, according to the complaint. Miller also said she signed her mother’s signature as a witness on her own ballot, the document said."

Miller claimed in her plea agreement that she was intoxicated when sending the ballots by mail and could not remember precisely what she had done, but she agreed the evidence was strong enough to convict her.

Minnesota Ninth Judicial District Judge Heidi Chandler dismissed the other two charges and sentenced Miller to three years of supervised probation and an $885 fine.

Miller must also read the book on U.S. voting history and related topics, “Thank You for Voting: The Maddening, Enlightening, Inspiring Truth About Voting in America,” by Erin Geiger Smith, and write a 10-page paper on the "importance of voting in a democracy and how election fraud can undermine the voting process."

Trump won re-election last year after claiming for years that mail-in voting was fraudulent and falsely claimed that's why he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, but Itasca County Attorney Jake Fauchald said Miller's conviction shows how well the election system works to stop attempted voter fraud.

“I think the sentence that was imposed here is very much designed to help her better understand the importance of those things and make sure that she doesn’t — and quite frankly other people don’t — take the same type of actions in the future,” Fauchald said.
