A Basset, Va. man pleaded guilty Tuesday night to charges of voter fraud and forgery of thousands of signatures on Newt Gingrich’s campaign ballot, Charlottesville’s WVIR reported.
Prosecutors said Adam Ward, 28, collected more than 11,000 signatures in December 2011 to get Newt Gingrich’s name on the Virginia presidential primary ballot. Investigators were unable to verify 4,000 of those signatures.
