Lightning Strikes Voters at Ballot Box

Voter Fraud Lightning StrikesCritics of voter ID and other laws cracking down on voter fraud claim they're unnecessary because fraud is nonexistent. For instance, Brennan Center attorneys Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt claimed last year: "A person casting two votes risks jail time and a fine for minimal gain. Proven voter fraud, statistically, happens about as often as death by lightning strike."

Well, lightning is suddenly all over Cincinnati, Ohio. The Hamilton County Board of Elections is investigating 19 possible cases of alleged voter fraud that occurred when Ohio was a focal point of the 2012 presidential election. A total of 19 voters and nine witnesses are part of the probe.

Democrat Melowese Richardson has been an official poll worker for the last quarter century and registered thousands of people to vote last year.

She candidly admitted to Cincinnati's Channel 9 this week that she voted twice in the last election.
 

This is how Channel 9′s website summarized the case:

According to county documents, Richardson's absentee ballot was accepted on Nov. 1, 2012 along with her signature. On Nov. 11, she told an official she also voted at a precinct because she was afraid her absentee ballot would not be counted in time.

"There's absolutely no intent on my part to commit voter fraud," said Richardson. . . .

According to Board of Election records, her name appeared on an absentee ballot list prior to Election Day. The board's report states poll workers should have updated the signature poll book by flagging "absentee voter" next to the names of those who appeared on the list. Upon investigation it was found that  none of the voters who appeared on the list were flagged, which included Richardson. The staff could not locate that supplemental list when asked.

The board's documents also state that Richardson was allegedly disruptive and hid things from other poll workers on Election Day after another female worker reported she was intimidated by Richardson. . . .

During the investigation it was also discovered that her granddaughter, India Richardson, who was a first time voter in the 2012 election, cast two ballots in November.

Richardson insists she has done nothing wrong and promises to contest the charges: "I'll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama's right to sit as president of the United States."

But, of course, as you know there is no voter fraud. Pay no attention to that lightning coming out of Ohio!

A former Hamilton County poll worker was convicted Tuesday, May 28, 2013 of illegal voting and could go to prison for up to six years for it.

"I'll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama's right to sit as president of the United States."

Melowese Richardson, 58, of Madisonville pleaded no contest to four counts of illegal voting – including voting three times for a relative who has been in a coma since 2003 – in exchange for prosecutors dropping four other illegal voting charges. Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman immediately convicted her, making her a felon.

A poll worker from 1998 until being fired this year, Richardson admitted she voted illegally in the 2008, 2011 and 2012 elections.

Richardson, who was in court last week but asked to speak to her pastor before she agreed to be convicted rather than take the case to trial, was quiet during the hearing.

Her penmanship and familiarity led to her conviction.

“They noticed a bunch of absentee ballots coming from the same place with the same handwriting,” Assistant Prosecutor Bill Anderson said. Other Board of Elections workers then recognized Richardson’s handwriting.

She’s the third person in Hamilton County to be convicted this year for illegal voting.

UNFAIR! - Where are REPUBLICAN poll workers who stuffed ballot boxes?

No One?  Hmmn...

Richardson wasn’t offered diversion because she had eight counts of illegal voting against her and because she asked what authorities were going to do to her for illegal voting.  She’ll find that out July 9 when Ruehlman sentences her.

The Obama administration, along with PROGRESSIVE Republicans AND Democrats are OK providing assistance to the Syrian 'rebels'  ...The Farouq Brigade, the same 'rebels' who have pledged allegiance to Al Qaeda and Commander Abu Sakar who cut the heart and liver out of their enemies and eat it.

Biden Tells the Truth on NSA Scandal

Sometime the Truth Really Hurts!

 "SAY IT AIN'T SO JOE!"Just as the story broke that the NSA has spent the past several years collecting the phone records of millions of U.S. mobile customers, the Obama administration and other lawmakers were quick to dismiss the immense privacy implications posed by such information.

Would you believe then-Senator and now-Vice President Joe Biden got it right in 2006 commenting on the "Bush-era" NSA's similar mass collection of calling records?

As Barack hears Joe has "foot-in-mouth" again, he violently shakes his head NO and screams out - "Say it ain't so Joe?" ....but it's True!  LOL!

Time: 01:00

With Joe in office, Barack doesn't need any whistle-blowers.  He's got the best canary in the bird house to tweet out loudly the absolute truth!

Joe's got my Vote in 2016!

DNC Democrat Strategist Denies Obama Scandals

Neil Cavuto, Fox News Director and host of his own show, "Your World with Cavuto", invited a panel with Charlie Gasperino, Julian Epstein and Ben Stein to discuss the "White House Scandals" and their effect on the Obama administration's credibility. I never have seen Cavuto get really seething mad until today - see why and you may too!

Time: 03:31

(June 8, 2013) - Fox News host Neil Cavuto and Democratic strategist Julian Epstein erupted at each other on Saturday morning, when Cavuto demanded Epstein see the NSA subpoena as part of a larger pattern of oppressive behavior on the part of the Obama administration. (See below about how Saul Alinsky's elementary primer, Rules for Radicals (RFR), laid out the oppressive Obama plan for "CHANGE") 

Read Obama's own Rules for Radicals

Obama, a "Community Organizer", was trained in Saul D. Alinsky's methodologies and shows clearly that he has embraced many of the left-wing, activist, anarchist ideologies of Alinsky. Alinsky's Rules for Radicals (RFR) has been the operating manual for Obama's campaign for "CHANGE". On pages 36 to 44 he goes into great detail about "How to get and How to keep power by the use of force".

Has President Obama mutated into something not envisioned by Alinsky? On page 61 of RFR Alinsky talks about ego, "The ego of the organizer is stronger and more monumental than the ego of the leader. The leader is driven by the desire for power, while the organizer is driven by the desire to create. The organizer is in a true sense reaching for the highest level for which man can reach - to create, to be a "great creator," to play God."

The question is then, "Has President Obama assumed the Office of President of the United States of America," as our leader or as an ORGANIZER who wants to change the world. Is he simply going to use his power to control us completely in order to spread our wealth to the poor of the world?" Keep in mind the poorest American living in poverty is still better of than the mainstream of the people in Darfur. I know this paints a bleak picture as we move further forward in the Obama administration running the White House.

Another Obama Alinsky Moment Exposed

After the first election, two Newsweek reporters unknowingly witnessed an "Alinsky" moment during the Obama acceptance speech. They later characterized Obama's persona as having "a slightly creepy cult of personality about all of this" and it made them further feel uneasy in the way that he could manipulate his own spectacle. Was it as if to play God - an Alinisky principle?  Hmn...

Newsweek’s Evan Thomas and Jon Meacham shared a bizarre Obama love-fest session with Charlie Rose on the PBS host’s program on November 6, 2008 after the Presidential election. Meacham stated that he was "very struck watching the stagecraft" of Obama and pointed out how Obama gave his victory speech by himself: "...[H]ave you ever seen a victory speech where there was no one else on stage? No adoring wife, no cute kid -- he is the message." Thomas went one step further in this vein: "There is a slightly creepy cult of personality about all of this." Rose confronted him on his use of this phrase, and he explained that it made him "a little uneasy that he's so singular. He's clearly managing his own spectacle. He knows how to do it. He's a -- I think, a deeply manipulative guy..." Later, all three marveled about how it was "amazing" that Obama "watches us watching him."

"You see one incident after another that comes up," Cavuto said. "It all comes back to the same basic issue: privacy invaded or potentially invaded. Institutions of all sorts doing the same thing. There is a pattern."

"If you want to conflate and combine the issues and make the general statements you can do that," Epstein said. "I don't think it's a thoughtful way to approach it."

Cavuto, who had been winding up the whole hour, lost it.

"Think about what I said!" Cavuto screamed. "Julian! Don't play the politics thing. I'm telling you, drop the liberal thing and focus on the reality thing. You have one entity after another going after American people. You have one system of government, one agency, one department after another essentially doing the same thing. You can call that conflating. I am telling you there is a pattern."

"You can't conflate all these issues," Epstein said, causing Cavuto to wag his head in disbelief. "You have to speak about them differently. In the case of the IRS, I agree the targeting is wrong, but there was never any connection to the White House. Nobody has proven that."

Charlie Gasparino, off-camera scoffed and said, "This guy would make a lousy reporter."

"I'm not going to get anywhere arguing this point," Cavuto said. "You are saying nothing and it's offensive. It's annoying how obnoxious you can be on reality."

"You're playing Obama hater and not backing it up with facts," Epstein tried to say, but Cavuto told the producers to cut his mic, at which point the show reverted back to Ben Stein.
