She is accused of committing fraud to rig her homecoming election.

Her mother, Laura Carroll, 50, is also being charged with the crime.

Investigators claim Grover, 17, used her mother’s log-in information to register fake votes.

Her mother was the former vice-principal of the town’s elementary school.

However, certain things aren’t adding up.

One tech expert found over 100 votes were cast in 20 minutes, which is “not humanly possible.”

Grover actually had enough votes to win even if the questionable votes weren’t counted.

Both her and her mother could face 16 years in jail if found guilty.
