A Chicago woman filed at least 10 fake voter registration cards in Lake County before last fall's election, prosecutors said Monday.
Jeannette Sims, 46, of the 700 block of North Ridgeway Avenue, is charged with mutilation of election materials and faces up to three years in prison.
Sims was working with a voter-registration drive sponsored by the Service Employees International Union when she submitted the falsified cards, said Assistant State's Attorney Christen Bishop.
Election clerks had discovered more than 1,000 suspicious registrations which prompted the criminal investigation--phony addresses or people's names appropriated.
