16,000 GOP Voters Crossed Over
CLEVELAND -- The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is investigating whether any Republicans broke the law when they switched parties in the March 4 presidential primary to back the candidate that they perceived to be a weaker opponent for GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain.
The board expects the results of the investigation March 31. The board wants to know if voters lied when they signed statements pledging allegiance to their new party.
About 16,000 GOP voters crossed over to vote for Democrats in the primary.
It's not clear whether the board will try to prosecute voters. A 2-2 tie by the board to pursue violators would have to be broken by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat.
A Brunner spokeswoman said she hasn't been contacted about prosecuting crossover voters.
In God We Trust.....Semper Fi
Prove it.
I was interested, then............
I’d like to see them prove one single case. WHat a bunch of losers.
Anybody think they might investigate any Dems who crossed over?
Make My Day!
It seems like the Dems are trying to stir every single hornets nest they can find this election...

Doesn’t make sense to me. How do you PROVE someone was disingenuous? The mere virtue of switching party is not enough burden of proof, and the government would open themselve to counter-suit. I know some conservatives who dislike McCain so much they think Hillary is genuinely the least of three evils.
Well include illegals, bums paid to vote, dead people, dogs, cross over voters on the dem side.
Anybody think they might investigate any who crossed over?
I don't...
I think they should spend whatever it takes pursuing this. Right down to their last dime. It’s THAT important.
I'm with you!

I wonder if the "pledge" required some minimal term of time for the duration of one's allegiance. If not, then I suppose one could end one's allegiance upon exiting the polling station.
Go ahead politicians, keep doing something so as to look like you are doing something, when in reality we know that when you look like you are doing something, you are in fact doing nothing. I encourage you to keep doing something, believing you are doing something so I may relax knowing you are doing nothing.

they had a few smartalex’s who signed the affidavit with “I’m a democrat just for today”
No I didn’t. Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN’T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.
Great, so when do we start prosecuting politicians and judges for violating THEIR oaths of office, in particular their oaths to the US Constitution?
