ST. LOUIS — An Illinois woman has been charged with submitting false information on voter registration cards, including turning in cards from nursing home residents without their knowledge.

A federal indictment released Monday says 44-year-old Deidra Humphrey of East St. Louis forged voter registration cards to election officials in St. Louis city and county. It charges her with two felony counts of voter registration fraud.

U.S. Attorney Catherine Hanaway's office says Humphrey worked for ACORN and the Missouri Progressive Vote Coalition between June and August 2008.

A phone number for Humphrey could not immediately be found.
ProVote Missouri's Interim Director Joan Suarez says Humphrey was fired before the organization became aware of the alleged false submissions.
