Owner of LA signature-gathering firm admits fraud

By Jonathan Hayter

ADVERTISEMENTS

LOS ANGELES (AP) ? Authorities say the owner of a firm that collects signatures for petition drives has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor voter registration fraud in exchange for prosecutors dropping felony charges.

Mark Jacoby, the 26-year-old owner of Young Political Majors, entered the plea Tuesday in Los Angeles County Superior Court and was sentenced to three years probation and 30 days of highway work. He also agreed to legally register at his correct address.

Jacoby admitted that he twice registered to vote using Los Angeles addresses that were not his.

California law requires that anyone who circulates petitions be a registered voter or qualified to register.

The District Attorney's Office says two felony counts of perjury and one felony count of voter registration fraud were dismissed under the deal.
