Authorities charged a Clermont woman Thursday with submitting false registration information that switched party affiliations without voters’ knowledge.

Cheryl A. Hall, 63, turned herself in Thursday, a day after officials announced that 119 voter forms were falsified, including some that changed registrations from Democrat or no party affiliation to Republican. Others had their party affiliation removed.

....

Alan Hays, the Lake supervisor of elections, said in an interview this week that some forms appeared to have forged signatures. When his office alerted voters to the changes to their registration, 10 of them filed formal complaints, saying they had not made any changes. All 119 false forms were assigned to Hall to collect, the Sheriff's Office said.
....

Hays said he was pleased with the arrest and reminded voters to check their registration information on lakevotes.com. "If you see any inaccurate information on your voter file, please contact our office at 352-343-9734," Hays said. "Voters in Lake County can rest assured that every authorized voter will be able to cast a ballot and have their vote counted."
