Ohio poll worker may have voted 6 times for Obama!

[PSGator66]

I don't find this surprising at all but I think that the President should pardon her for alleged crime.

I can assure you no one on the left cares

As we said the last time this item was posted, which I think was about two weeks ago, if she's guilty, she ought to pay the price.

[neisgator]

Didn't she admit that she was guilty?

[David Shepherd]

No,

she admitted that she thought Obama had a right to be president

she admitted that she did what she did to make sure her vote counted
Another voter admitted to double voting, but did not think it was an issue.
Richardson's granddaughter, India Richardson, confirmed to Fox News that her grandmother voted for her, by submitting an absentee ballot in her name

No,

she admitted that she thought Obama had a right to be president

she admitted that she did what she did to make sure her vote counted

Is she that stupid that she though it wasn't counted the first five times, and that she felt the need to vote a sixth?

[Itssaul]

If we talk about this then by all rules in the TH code of conduct, we CAN NOT talk about voter suppression on the right.
;)


But seriously fixing both problems would be ideal.

Go her, do your thing girl!

I care Bill. Thanks for posting.

The fact that it was literally statistically impossible to win the way Obama did in Ohio, this comes as no surprise. His union pals and ACORN buddies hiding under another name managed to fix the vote in that most vital of swing states.

All Obama had to really do was win Ohio and he pulled a classic Kennedy family tactic... just fix the ballot boxes.

Ooh, scary, scary ACORN. The right's forever boogeyman.

Unless you start with Romney should have won, it wasn't.

[rivergator]

We'll see. I know Gray won't offer evidence to back up what he says. He never does. But maybe another conservative will present real evidence that what he claimed is true.
We'll see, won't we?

[JohnC1908]

Should this woman go to jail?

[rivergator]

Should this woman go to jail?

I don't know what the law says in terms of penaties.. If she just voted the two times in her name, there certainly ought to be some penalty. Not sure if it's jail time.
But if she turned in absentee ballots in four other names, without their permission, that would seem like jail to me.

[neisgator]

Ooh, scary, scary ACORN. The right's forever boogeyman.

Exactly.

Signed,

Halliburton.

[rivergator]

Obviously Gray isn't going to step and prove what he said. But we knew that. Anyone else want to give it a shot, or should we all just admit he was making up crap again?

This. If found guilty, she should be punished within the extent of the law and in accordance to any/all precedence for people convicted of similar offenses in Ohio. If that's jail time, than that's what she deserves. If the harshest punishment is probation, then she doesn't deserve to go to jail.

Usually, unanimous votes are reserved only for dictatorships:

In Cleveland, in some districts he did even better with an astounding 100% of the vote in dozens of locations. For example, in Cleveland's Fifth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts E, F, and G 1,337 to Mitt Romney's... 0. And in case you're wondering, Gary Johnson received more votes than Mr. Romney. Well, maybe that's just a fluke. In the Ninth Ward, Mr. Obama won districts D-G with a paltry total of 1,740 to... 3. Hey, at least Romney got .2% of the vote!

Okay, what if we look at an entire Ward? No way this trend continues, right? An entire ward. Why not do the First Ward? Obama won that one 12,857 to... 94. This time Romney got .7% of the vote. He's moving up in the world!

In total, there are 21 districts in Cleveland where Mr. Romney received precisely 0 votes. In 23 districts, he received precisely 1 vote. And naturally, in one of the districts where Obama won 100% of the vote, there was 100% turnout. What a coincidence!

By the way, in case you are thinking that Romney did so poorly because maybe those districts were not very populated: Nope. In those 44 districts, Mr. Obama won 14,686 to 23. That's .16% of the vote for Romney. But Ohio's not important in the electoral college, right?

Update: Mr. Obama won in St. Lucie County, Florida, which had over 140% voter turnout.

Yes, Obama won a lot of Cleveland precincts by huge amounts where Romney few or no votes. That is not statistically impossible.
As far as turnout:
In the Cleveland area, the precincts that Obama carried had a lower turnout than the precincts that Romney carried.
The claim about 140 percent turnout in St. Lucie is false, no matter how many times conservatives keep repeating it.

You don't exist to Gray. He knows not your request. And you're not even God. :laugh:

I would give her the death penalty, but that would not stop her from voting again...at least someone else in her name.:joecool:

Filtering is a puerile tactic that provides seemingly legitimate but self delusional excuses to people - like Gray - who want to avoid answering questions they don't want to answer. This is not the first time he has ducked a question. Probably won't be the last.

lacuna, I filter some of the posters here, like river, not because I don't want to answer a question, from time to time, but rather in support of End Ankle Biting Now Awareness Month.

Science has shown that conservatives have less developed reasoning centers than liberals.

Anything that challenges their inculcated beliefs might result in cognitive dissonance.

Can't have that.

100% voter participation? Take off the blinders

You're still claiming that there was 100 percent turnout in Obama's key precincts in Cleveland?
