Illegal Voting Conviction

A sixth felon from Waterloo has been convicted and sentenced for voting in the 2012 presidential election. Robert Earl Anthony entered an Alford plea, acknowledging he could be convicted of election misconduct but not admitting guilt. A judge fined him $750 and ordered him to complete community service. Anthony was one of eight Waterloo residents with prior felonies who were charged with illegally voting in the November 2012 election.
