Seven people were charged with felonies in Michigan for allegedly double voting during August's primary election, according to the Michigan attorney general's office.

Four of the people voted in person at their St. Clair Shores polling station and through absentee ballots, while three municipal assistant clerks knowingly allowed their votes to be counted twice, Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement on Friday.
