4 Indiana Dems charged with election fraud in 2008
« on: April 02, 2012, 07:55:19 PM »
Prosecutors in South Bend, Ind., filed charges Monday against four St. Joseph County Democratic officials and deputies as part of a multiple-felony case involving the alleged forging of Democratic presidential primary petitions in the 2008 election, which put then-candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the Indiana ballot.

The officials are accused of taking part in a scheme to fake signatures and names on the primary petitions needed to run for president. Court papers say the plan was hatched by local Democratic Party officials inside the local party headquarters.

Among those charged is the former long-time chairman of the St. Joseph County Democratic Party, Butch Morgan, who allegedly ordered the forgeries. He was forced to resign when the allegations were first made public last October, even though his lawyer, Shaw Friedman, told Fox News at the time that Morgan did not do anything wrong.

The St. Joseph County Board of Voter Registration's Democratic board member, Pam Brunette, Board of Voter Registration worker Beverly Shelton and Democratic volunteer and former board worker Dustin Blythe also face charges.

Not voter fraud, but much, much worse.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you to hear that Democrats are involved in voter fraud.
Biden is an illegitimate President.  Change my mind.

Democrats involved in voter fraud? No, that would never happen. According to MSNBC, Democrats are the most civil, loyal, loving, and law biding people.

"even though his lawyer, Shaw Friedman, told Fox News at the time that Morgan did not do anything wrong."

Would it be wrong for a lib to rig an election ? Would a lib say it was wrong, especially if ostensibly, libs would benefit ?
These are the types of questions you must ask when assessing situational ethics.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.

What makes it almost laughable is that one of the ALLEGED signatures forged was that of the county prosecutor.
