Osceola Man Indicted for Voter Fraud in Closely Contested Mayor’s Race

(Osceola, IA) — An Osceola man has been indicted on seven counts of election misconduct. WHO/TV reports that Kevin Dorland did NOT live at the address where he was registered to vote when he cast a ballot in Osceola’s extremely close mayoral race last November. In that race, challenger Matt Stoll won the race for mayor after the first ballot count had him ahead by one vote, followed by a recount in which he and incumbent mayor Thomas Kedley tied. The race was then settled when Stoll’s name was drawn from a candy dish. Dorland, meanwhile, is free on bond and awaiting a court hearing later this month.
