The Wheels of Justice
Grind slowly but they do grind. I had posted before about Ohio Poll Worker Melowese Richardson casting more than one vote (
here and
here).
From
FOX News:
Cincinnati poll worker charged with voting half dozen times in November
She admitted voting twice in the presidential election last November, and now, Obama supporter Melowese Richardson has been indicted for allegedly voting at least six times. She also is charged with illegal voting in 2008 and 2011.
The 58-year-old veteran Cincinnati poll worker, indicted Monday, faces eight counts of voter fraud. Two others, one of whom is a nun, have been charged separately.
Richardson had admitted on camera to a local TV station, "Yes, I voted twice," claiming she was concerned that her vote would not count. She also said there "was no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud."
"I'll fight it for Mr. Obama and Mr. Obama's right to sit as president of the United States," she proclaimed in the interview.
Emphasis mine -- excuse me: "right to sit". That is where in the Constitution?
Talk about low information voter.
She will have a lot of time to reconsider her actions:
She faces up to 12 years in prison if convicted. Efforts to contact her and her lawyer have been unsuccessful.
She will probably only serve a year at most but still, it should send a message to other people trying this same shit.
There has been a campaign in the Democratic Party to elect Democrats to the Secretary of State positions. Why? Because the Sec. State oversees each State's elections. Ohio has a Republican in that position:
The Hamilton County Board of Elections recently held hearings on cases of possible double voting and voter fraud, part of a statewide review ordered by Secretary of State John Husted. He called on all 88 counties to review complaints of fraud, as well as voter disenfranchisement.
�Every voter must play by the rules, and if they don�t they will be held accountable,� Husted, a Republican, said in a written statement. �For voters to have confidence in our elections, we must prosecute every case of voter fraud in Ohio.�
Good - Ohio is one of the States that pushed Obama over the top last election. Need to get it cleaned up for 2014.
