The indictment alleges McKee signed the name of her mother who died on Oct. 5, 2020, to an early ballot envelope on or between Oct. 7, 2020, and Nov. 3, 2020.
According to AZMirror.com, “Voter registration records from the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office show that McKee is a registered Republican.”
The AZMirror reports that the case came to the attention of the attorney general’s election integrity unit by way of Merissa Hamilton, “who submitted the names of deceased voters “who may have voted” in the 2020 general election.”
McKee’s next court appearance is set for Aug. 11 in Maricopa County Superior Court.
There are currently five active election-related criminal cases in Superior Courts statewide.
