A St. Louis man pleaded guilty to a federal voter fraud charge Friday and admitted voting twice in the November 2008 general election.

Tarrell Campbell, 34, voted early in Illinois - on Oct. 24, 2008. Campbell was a student at SIUE at the time, and registered in Illinois in 2007.

Campbell voted again in Missouri on Nov. 4, he admitted Friday.

Campbell's original plea documents said that he lied to FBI agents investigating the charge, denying that he voted twice.

But Campbell balked at that claim, and it was removed. Campbell's public defender said, in court, that Campbell told the agents that he did not recall voting in Illinois at the time of his Missouri vote, less than two weeks later.

Campbell, who told U.S. District Judge Jean C. Hamilton that he has three master's degrees, faces up to six months behind bars under federal sentencing guidelines.
