Hope they throw the book at her http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/19/ohio-poll-worker-obama-supporter-investigated-for-potentially-voting-six-times/

Folks I am on my cell so please feel free to post the article text. Just don't do it 6 times.

[griebel303]

I would to see how many other of his supporters "accidentally" voted more then once. If it was Romney, they would be calling for impeachment

[Drucker]

Unpossible!! voter fraud is a Republican conspiracy theory! At least the Denver P told me so.

Here is the article:

The Obama/Biden lawn sign remains proudly planted in front of Melowese Richardson's Cincinnati home, three months after the presidential election.
It seems that President Obama has an especially ardent supporter in the veteran Ohio poll worker.
Richardson told a local television station this month that she voted twice for Obama last November. She cast an absentee ballot and then voted at the polls as well.
"Yes, I voted twice," Richardson told WCPO-TV. "I, after registering thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls."
Authorities also are investigating if she voted in the names of four other people, too, for a total of six votes in the 2012 presidential election.
"I'll fight it for Mr. Obama and for Mr. Obama's right to sit as president of the United States," Richardson vowed when asked about the voter fraud investigation that is now under way.
Richardson is one of 19 people suspected of illegal voting by the Hamilton County Board of Elections in the last election.
"I'm outraged, and every voter, regardless of their political affiliation, should be outraged," said Hamilton County Board of Elections member Alex Triantafilou, who is also chairman of the county Republican Party. "It causes folks to have real doubts about the fabric of our very democratic process, and it's dangerous. It is disconcerting that someone would be so bold as to admit their conduct in such a fashion ... We fully intend to prosecute these cases."
Richardson claimed she had submitted an absentee ballot, but was afraid her vote would not count so she also voted in person. She also said she voted in the name of her granddaughter and yet another person.
"There was absolutely no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud," she insisted.
Richardson's granddaughter, India Richardson, confirmed to Fox News that her grandmother voted for her, by submitting an absentee ballot in her name. India told Fox News that she is not angry, and gave her permission to cast her absentee ballot.
"It wasn't a big deal," she said.
But election authorities say voting more than once, or in someone else's name, is a big deal because it is illegal and threatens the credibility of the nation's election system.
"It appears she not only attempted to vote more than once, but was actually successful at it and having those additional votes counted," Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, who is in charge of the state's elections, told Fox News.
"She appears to have used her position as a poll worker to cover her tracks. That would be someone who is an official in the elections process, using that position to commit a fraud. That is especially troubling to me, as the chief elections officer of the state, because it is my responsibility to make sure the system runs effectively, that it has integrity. When I find issues like this, I know that it undermines voter confidence in our elections, and we must pursue it."
Three other absentee ballots in the names of different people were submitted to the Board of Elections from Richardson's address on Nov. 1. Officials say the handwriting on those ballots is similar and that they were all received together, on the same day that Richardson's absentee ballot arrived at the office. Richardson maintains that some of the other voters live at her house.
Attempts by Fox News to reach Richardson were unsuccessful, but she claimed to the local station that the votes were "absolutely legal votes."
In written reports detailing the 19 cases, Board of Elections investigators described their findings. In one instance, an investigator called a suspected double voter and was hung up on.
"I explained that she voted twice and she told me not to bother her and get off her phone and she hung up," the investigator wrote.
Another voter admitted to double voting, but did not think it was an issue.
"The voter said yes she 'voted early' and then voted again, then she asked 'what's the problem?'" according to the report.
Yet another voter was at a loss for explaining why he voted more than once.
"Voter said he remembered both times. He doesn't know why he voted twice," the report said.
The documents show that another voter said he had received a phone call before Election Day telling him his absentee ballot would not count. When investigators questioned him about voting two times, the voter replied "'as usual, you guys are wrong.' ... he was curious about the investigation and asked 'Now what will you do' and 'are you taping me now?"
The Hamilton County Board of Elections is holding hearings to further investigate these cases.
"It is so fundamental to people's faith in the democratic process, that we need to act very strong to make sure that we are doing everything we can to keep people's faith," declared Triantafilou. "There is always the concern, though, that there are those situations where we didn't catch folks."
As part of a new effort to root out any voter fraud, Secretary of State Husted has ordered all 88 of the state's county Board of Elections to hold public hearings on any credible voter fraud allegations or claims of voter disenfranchisement during the 2012 election. He said any substantiated allegations should be turned over to prosecutors.
"Once the election is over, and once the winner is declared, everybody forgets about it. I want to make sure that we don't forget about it, that we make sure we do, essentially, an audit of that process to ensure that we know what happened, and then use that evidence to guide us going forward. ... We need to learn from that last election so that we can be better before the next one gets here."
"Fraud does happen," noted Husted. "Most attempts are caught by the system. But there are cases that do slip through, as this one does, and we need to make sure that we really send a strong message, that if you do this, you are going to be held accountable. It might mean fines, it might mean jail time."
Voter fraud, said Husted, "undermines public confidence in democracy, and that's why we need, whether you are a Democrat or Republican, to root out all cases of voter fraud."

Thats "un-legal!" Thanks to Rhonda Fields and the Weapon-Tree.

[USAFGopherMike]

People who vote more than once should be shot. Fixes that problem real quick.

[Ghosty]

All these billions of $$$ they waste on useless shit, they need to put a tiny fraction of that into revamping the computer systems and making voter ID a working reality, so people can't get away with this bullshit. The rest of us who aren't brain-donors only get one vote. Just another reason to hate stupid people, as if there weren't enough already. DARWIN SAVE US PLEASE!!!

I was about to go have some lunch, but I think I've lost my appetite.

[USAFGopherMike]

Maybe the ink dipped finger is a good idea.

[Zundfolge]

This is the one thing that makes me think America is salvageable ... Obama was NOT elected by the majority of American voters.

Of course the networks of cheating are deeply imbedded in our electoral process so there's a lot of work ahead, but the reality is that the majority of voters are not brain dead liberals.

I hope you are right. But I am sure there are similar numbers of fraud on both sides or the voting block.

[Zundfolge]

No, there aren't.

Any time a single Republican cheats it makes the news and that person is prosecuted (and the leftist run media acts like its a widespread problem with Republicans). A SIGNIFICANT percentage of Obama's votes were fraudulent (and probably many Romney votes went missing before being counted) and you're treated like some sort of tin-foil-hat wearing conspiracy nut if you suggest that such a thing is even possible, let alone actually happened.

I would be willing to bet you that for every dishonestly cast Republican vote there are at least a thousand dishonestly cast Democrat votes (and probably more).

You have entire precincts in Philidelphia and Cleveland that went absolutely 100% for Obama ... not a SINGLE vote for anyone else. That's statistically impossible. You'd have a few people fat-fingering the machines and accidentally voting for someone else once in a while ... plus there is no precinct anywhere in the country that doesn't have at least one or two folk that will vote against the crowd or even for the oddball third party candidates ... Hell "Alfred E Newman" still gets write in votes here and there around the country.
Then you have counties right here in Colorado that had greater than 100% voter turnout.

No sir, the vast majority of election fraud in this country is perpetrated by Democrats ... not Republicans ... not even close.

[DavieD55]

There were 59 districts in Philly and nine districts in Cleveland that did not have one single vote for Romney. Many people who were deceased also voted, as well as many people who voted more than once. Even some non-citizens were able to cast a vote.

Zundfolge beat me to it.

[jackthewall81]

Shoot, I was just trying trying to be reasonable. I had no clue about 100% voting for Obummer in certain districts. That is horrific. I wish CNN or some middle ground news network would run more stories about these sorts of things.

[MattR]

I think they tried to bring attention to it and the reason was that there are so many "poor blacks" in that area that is why. They certainly weren't going to vote for Romney and that's totally "fair and reasonable" from the interview I saw.

[Jeep297]

I agree. I believe voter fraud is a much bigger problem then people realize and it's mostly committed by one side. It's appalling to me that you don't even need to show photo ID to vote...

[NightCat]

...and of course for republicans to say he stole the election is a conspiracy theory right?.....makes me sick

[clublights]

Funny thing to me is EVERYTHING the dem's have accused the republicans of doing for years .. they ARE Doing .. Vote fraud , gun running, kill lists... on and on ... And the media turns a blind eye .

[Uberjager]

They are the media, except for Fox.

[clublights]

They have effectively marginalized Fox News ( not that Fox news hasn't helped out here and there)

The dems say that having to show an ID to prove you're a citizen in order to cast a vote would be racist.

because apparently minorities dont drive. Or have bank accounts. Or buy beer.

[Beprepared]

Sadly, I lost count of hearing cases like this.

[palepainter]

Shocked....

[DavieD55]

Dont forget to add convicted felons to the list, Some of them receive mail in ballots.

[Jeep297]

But how would the liberals win if they can't vote multiple times? They do whatever they can to stack the cards in their favor and somehow it's allowed to continue. When someone speaks up to how irrational and flawed the system is and how easily it can be fixed they just call us racist to try to get us to be quiet...

[aheiser]

Not surprising at all. It's scary to think how many times this probably happened.
