She admitted voting twice in the presidential election last November, and now, Obama supporter Melowese Richardson has been indicted for allegedly voting at least six times. She also is charged with illegal voting in 2008 and 2011. The 58-year-old veteran Cincinnati poll worker, indicted Monday, faces eight counts of voter fraud. Two others, one of whom is a nun, have been charged separately. Richardson had admitted on camera to a local TV station, "Yes, I voted twice," claiming she was concerned that her vote would not count. She also said there "was no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud." "I'll fight it for Mr. Obama and Mr. Obama's right to sit as president of the United States," she proclaimed in the interview.

It doesn’t even add up to a drop in the bucket. Give her a public execution, and round up the hundreds of thousands of other corrupt, cheating Democrats to join her.
There is considerable support for it here in Michigan. Delegates at the GOP convention voted 1,370 to 132 in favor of going to a proportional system.

I’ve even managed to convert a few liberals based on their belief that there is vast GOP fraud going on.
The rest of us must fight this battle. I for one am sick and tired of the left in this country. I really do hate them. There is nothing to discuss anymore. As far as I’m concerned It’s my way or the highway for any liberal. F’em!!
Good reverse psychology!
Melowese? Are you kidding...
It would be nice to add California, Illinois and New York to that list as well. But I don't think it would ever be possible.
That being said, proportional is a harder sell than congressional district voting (the method used in Maine and Nebraska) which accurately reflects constituencies versus mere numbers.
I think another decent method might be state regions. For example, Pennsylvania would have five regions of four electoral votes each: southeast (Philly area), northeast (Scranton), central (Harrisburg), southwest (Pittsburgh) and northwest (Erie). Four of the five would be competitive and probably generate a lot more electoral attention to Pennsylvania than the current method.
By congressional district is exactly what is being supported in Michigan.
I read an interesting article here on FR about that. Author researched 2012 and found that if every state went "proportional", then BO still would have won, 270-268.
Problem (from the R standpoint) is that traditionally RED states, still have blue pockets that steal enough of the electorate.
I'd also worry about voter fraud. We'd go from a handful of precincts stealing a state, to one or two precincts having the capacity to steal entire elections. That can still happen now (1960, 2000), but it's a whole lot harder. So, for "proportionality" to work, there's a whole lot of cleanup that needs to happen in the voting process.
I still think that a "proportional" EC is still the best way for my vote to wield the most influence, though. So, I'm in favor of it. I'm just saying, "Be careful with what you wish for."
Its up to the individual states but I’m supporting it here.
She’s a black lady in a metro city. What on earth makes you think she voted for 0?
(/sarc)
I LOVE (love!!! love!!!) off-year primary elections. One year, Mrs WBill and I represented 22% of the returns for our precinct. Her thought on it was that "If someone had bothered to call us to cogently air out a viewpoint, then they would have gotten a good return on their investment."
Good point, sez me. Especially since since a number of the primaries were non-party affiliated (judges, at-large council bids, and so on). I only knew what I could dig up online about the candidates.
1. I checked around, and it seems Fox news is the only national news that is running this story. Surprise, surprise!
2. Is there now any remaining doubt that The Hamilton County Board of Elections is highly racist?/sarc
Multiple cases like this in Ohio. As long as they say, “there was no intent on my part to commit any voter fraud”, no laws were broken.
>>To get coverage, we must begin to push for the death penalty for voter fraud.
If the law is not enforced, what does it matter what the penalty is. Political corruption can not be countered by laws that require the consent of the political class.
She admitted to treason, punisher her as a traitor.
Undermining the Republic is a Treasonable offfense...
Meanwhile, as the sequester hits hard 0bama has his foot on the Federal hiring gas pedal with currently over 2,500 openings. ‘How to generate more votes 101’ class is in session. 0bama did this from 2008-2012 and he’s at it again for the 2016 election. Republicans fail to stop it.
Yeah, theres only a 93% chance, but hey thats better than last time, it was 97%
Maybe Ms Melowese ought to hear from concerned citizens how she invalidated 5 votes of her fellow citizens who may have voted for Romney. (Selfish delusional political B*&ch)
