Here is
another story for those on the Left who claim voter fraud does not exist in USA Today that also cites the RNLA vote fraud page. A
judge Wednesday sent a Cincinnati woman to prison for five years following her illegal
voting conviction. Calling her a common criminal who
abused her authority as a poll worker.
Melowese
Richardson was a Hamilton County poll worker from 1998 until she was arrested
earlier this year and was charged with eight counts of illegal voting.
In May,
she accepted a plea deal and was convicted of four counts in exchange for the
other four being
dismissed.
"This is not a little
thing. It's not a minor thing. This is what our country's based on — free
elections," Judge Robert Ruehlman of Hamilton County Common Pleas Court
told Richardson, chastised her for violating the principle of one person, one
vote.
She was
convicted of voting twice in the 2012 election and voting three times in 2008,
2011 and 2012 for her sister, who has been in a coma since 2003.
Richardson
still defiant told Judge Ruehlman that Amy Searcy, the Hamilton County Board of
Elections director criticizing her moments before the sentencing, bothered her.
Richardson,said that for years she helped “register” Democrats to vote but now
was being “persecuted” despite her decades as a poll
worker.
"I think the board has
shown me nothing but total disrespect for the 30 years I've served them,"
she told the judge. "I believe in the system and I've done nothing to harm
the system or cause disgrace to President Obama."
Judge Ruehlman
responded
by critisizing Richardson for suggesting she was being prosecuted because she
was an African-American Democrat helping a African-American Democratic
presidential candidate.
"It has nothing to do
with race. It has nothing to do with politics. It has nothing to do with
disrespecting you. You did this to yourself," Ruehlman told her.
"You're very selfish, self-centered. I really believe President Obama, if
he were asked about this today, he would be appalled. He would not want anybody
to cheat to get elected."
Assistant
Prosecutor Bill Anderson told the judge that anything short of a prison
sentence would be an attack on the voting
system.
As a poll worker, "her
job is actually to protect the integrity and sanctity of the voting
system," Anderson said. "(She) is an ideologue who was hell bent on
stuffing the ballot box with as many Obama votes as possible."
“It’s
very sad how she doesn’t understand how she abused the trust that was placed in
her as a poll worker….She frankly embarrassed the board and, in the process,
all of us who trust in the system.”
Melowese
Richardson was the third person convicted this year of illegal voting in the
Cincinnati area:
• Sister Marguerite
Kloos, 55, of Delhi
Township, Ohio, voted last fall via absentee ballot for another nun who died
before she could cast her vote. Kloos lost her job as a dean at the College of
Mount Saint Joseph and was placed on probation. She could have her conviction
erased and be eligible to vote again.
• Russell Glassop, 76, of Symmes Township, Ohio,
submitted his wife's absentee ballot after she died in 2012. He was placed on
probation but could have his conviction erased and be eligible to vote again.
This story is the perfect illustration of how most of the
national media chooses to ignore a story about voter fraud and more importantly so does the Obama Administration, especially the Eric Holder led Justice Department. That is this week's Obomination.
