NASHWAUK, Minn. (Northern News Now) - A 51-year-old Iron Range woman will write a 10-page essay about the importance of voting as part of her sentence for forging her deceased mother’s signature on an absentee ballot in the 2024 election.

Danielle Miller of Nashwauk was charged with three felony counts of voter fraud and pleaded guilty to one on Wednesday.

Miller had previously admitted to officials that she filled out her mother’s ballot. She told authorities her mother wanted to vote for Donald Trump, but died a couple of weeks before absentee ballots were sent out.

Miller’s ballot was flagged alongside her deceased mother’s in October 2024, according to court documents.
