KENT COUNTY, Mich. — The election worker accused of committing election fraud in Gaines Township has pleaded not guilty.
James Holkeboer was charged last month for allegedly falsifying election returns and using a computer to commit a crime.
A witness claimed to have seen Holkeboer inserting a thumb drive into the Electronic Poll Book, which we’re told holds the personal information of all voters living in the precinct.

We’re told Holkeboer is no longer permitted to process election information.
