Former Bucks County man who voted twice for Trump convicted of voter fraud

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

Published March 4, 2026, 8:22 p.m. ET


A former Bucks County man who claimed he was covered by pardons given by President Donald Trump to supporters who tried to overturn the 2020 election was found guilty Wednesday by a federal jury in Philadelphia of voting twice for Trump in 2020.

Matthew Laiss, 32, was charged by indictment in September of one count of voting more than once in a federal election and one count of voter fraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 10 and faces a maximum of five years in prison on both counts.

Laiss, who prosecutors said is currently a resident of Bethehem, Pa., had been a resident of- and was registered to vote in - Ottsville, Bucks County, from at least 2012 to around August 2020, prosecutors said. Laiss then moved to Frostproof, Fla., where he obtained a driver's license and registered to vote there.

Around Oct. 31, 2020, Laiss filled out and returned a mail-in Pennsylvania ballot, then on Nov. 3, 2020, Laiss went to a polling place in Florida and voted again.

Why risk imprisonment with a second vote in Florida? Florida?

I don't think this guy's vote was gonna be key to Trump winning there...

into thinking that it's easy to vote frequently and often. Then they try it.

There's a guy in Wisconsin, Harry Wait, who requested absentee ballots for other people just to prove he could. That's like me robbing a bank just to prove I could.

So a pardon is possible but not likely as Piggy has nothing to gain from pardoning this fraudster.
