Voter Fraud

You may remember last year during the election the Republicans were screaming bloody murder about voter fraud and how the Democrats were doing it everywhere. They made so much noise that there was even a special prosecutor assigned to investigate. He did manage to find a grand total of one case which was a Connecticut man that turned himself in. Is there any way we can force the GOP to pay for the wasted law enforcement resources used because of their lies? I specifically remember John McCain spouting this nonsense claiming the Democrats were engaging in the "worst voter fraud in the history of this country."

Only one voter fraud case found

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he had allegations last fall of widespread voter fraud – allegations a special prosecutor reported Tuesday were wrong, noting the only voter fraud found was from a Connecticut man who told on himself.

“Ultimately,” Special Prosecutor Michael O’Neill wrote in a report, “the investigators discovered ‘get-out-the-vote’ practices, sponsored by community organizations, which took full advantage of this unique absentee-voting period, but no evidence these practices violated Ohio law.”

“Told ya so,” Tim Burke, chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party as well as chairman of the Hamilton County Board of Elections, said with glee of O’Neill’s report.
