MEDIA, Pa. - A Delaware County man will not be allowed to vote for the next four years after he pled guilty to unlawful voting and perjury charges brought against him for casting a mail-in ballot for his dead mother in the 2020 election, county officials said Friday.
Bruce Bartman, a 70-year-old man from Marple Township, will also serve five years probation, according to Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer. Officials said this is the only known case of a dead person voting in the county.
Bartman was charged with unlawful voting and perjury last December when prosecutors alleged that he used the driver s license number for his mother, who died more than a decade ago, to register her to vote, obtain a mail-in ballot, return that ballot and fraudulently vote in her name.
