A former Judge of Elections has been convicted for his role in accepting bribes to cast fraudulent ballots and certifying false voting results during the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections in Philadelphia.
Domenick J. Demuro, 73, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty during a sealed proceeding on March 16, 2020, before U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond to conspiring to deprive persons of civil rights, and using interstate facilities in aid of bribery. The court unsealed the matter today. Sentencing is scheduled for June 30, 2020.
During his guilty plea hearing, Demuro admitted that while serving as an elected municipal Judge of Elections, he accepted bribes in the form of money and other things of value in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates on the voting machines in his jurisdiction and for certifying tallies of all the ballots, including the fraudulent ballots. Demuro further admitted that a local political consultant gave him directions and paid him money to add votes for candidates supported by the consultant, including candidates for judicial office whose campaigns actually hired the consultant, and other candidates for various federal, state and local elective offices preferred by that consultant for a variety of reasons. Demuro also admitted that the votes he added in exchange for payments by the political consultant increased the number of votes fraudulently recorded and tallied for the consultant’s clients and preferred candidates, thereby diluting the ballots cast by actual voters.

The Mafia will not be happy with this.
I bet the dead were pretty pissed.
Why doesn’t this article name names? Am I correct in assuming that because the information is detrimental that only democrats benefitted from this scheme? But there is no voting fraud in this country..
This should be a death penalty offense. Vote fraud is a direct attack on the entire body politic. It should be treated as such.

Voting is a constitutional right of USAians, said correctly. That's not just a civil rights issue... Duh.
DOJ can't word it right, cause don't know it well.
I guess I should have attached a sarcasm tag, but I thought it was obvious.
This is impossible! The media tell us 24x7x365 that vote fraud is a myth! /sarc
Yes, voter fraud by Democrats.
During the 2014, 2015 and 2016 primary elections, DeMuro admitted that he accepted bribes ranging from $300 to $5,000 per election. A political consultant hired by specific Democratic candidates gave DeMuro a cut of his fee to add votes for these candidates, who were running for judicial and various state, federal and local elected offices.
Sealed hearing? Unless a criminal hearing involves a minor all hearings must be open to the public.
The political consultant is probably already in a plea deal, with his identity withheld for now in order to spur incriminating speculation and chatter by other targets. It may take months to unfold, but additional indictments seem likely.
It is unfortunate that this criminal DIM loser won’t be hanged.
But I thought this couldn’t happen. Now multiply this by 1000’s across the country.

The judicial office candidate needs to find himself on the other side of the bench.
Call me an optimist, but after he helps wreck the local Democratic machine, he will be worried about getting hanged by them.
