PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A North Philadelphia election worker has pleaded guilty to election fraud during a 2017 special election for a state House seat in the city.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro says 59-year-old Thurman George, a machine inspector at Poll 43-7, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to frauds by election officers. George, along with three other election workers, was accused of harassment and intimidation against voters who wanted to vote for candidates of their choice, but not the candidate being pushed by the city’s Democratic Party machine.
Minority inspector Calvin Mattox previously pleaded guilty to not meeting the qualifications of election officers for living outside the district in which he was working, while Dolores Shaw, the judge of election at Poll 43-7, received an accelerated rehabilitative disposition for compromising the local election board. A pre-trial conference for Wallace Hill, a bilingual translator, has been scheduled for June 6.
Wasn’t that just all in a day’s work for someone like that?
I forget. Weren’t those black robed guys with night sticks outside a polling place in Philadelphia?
When these people are charged and convicted of Federal election crimes, this sh!t will stop.
Yes.
IIRC, those were black panthers in 2008. When Obama took office, he let them off the hook.
So how do you go to vote and have these conversations. Don’t you just go in and vote?
I must be missing something...
Gosh, more Democrats charged with election related crimes.
What is this world coming to?
“Weren’t those black robed guys with night sticks outside a polling place in Philadelphia?”
Yes and the Obama DOJ’s decision to not prosecute such cases led to AAG Christian Adams resignation.
What’s his rapper name?
OK, this is fine but I’m afraid this must like a cockroach infestation - for every one you see and catch, there are probably thousands more you don’t crawling behind the walls.
IIRC, they were convicted, in absentis because they refused to attend their trial, and were then referred to Eric Holder for sentencing. Holder dropped the conviction.
He should be found not guilty, as you can see from the pictures he’s smarter than the average bear and is qualifies to ‘advise’ voters on who to vote for.
No. Some of those precincts voted 106% for hitlery
I think that a candidate ran as a write-in candidate, and therefore people who wanted to vote for him couldn’t vote using the voting machines, but had to ask for a special ballot, whereupon they were given a hassle.
You actually located a picture of the Black Panthers intimidating white voters from that earlier time.
It is truly amazing how good FReepers are!
That scene was burned in my memory when I hear hypocrites on CNN say we are wrong to ask for voter ID and proper registration as it “intimidates’ black voters. We have to defend “one man, one vote” after they fought for that in the 1960s.
“Holder dropped the conviction.”
I find that VERY hard to believe. /s
