The Shaker Heights attorney found guilty in Cuyahoga County last week of two counts of election fraud for voting twice in the 2020 and 2022 general elections was sentenced Monday to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

James Saunders, 56, received the maximum prison sentence for election fraud, which is a fourth-degree felony under Ohio law and carries a maximum sentence of 18 months in prison per count.

“James Saunders is a licensed attorney, and he intentionally violated those rights when he voted multiple times in multiple elections. He clearly knew better but violated the law anyway. I think the message is clear – do not commit election fraud in Cuyahoga County.”

Saunders was found guilty by a Cuyahoga County grand jury last Tuesday, Prosecutor Michael C. O’Malley announced in the news release.
