Good day. My name is Greg Nolan. This is a statement written on behalf of the individual volunteers living at Brownlee Ave who registered to vote in Ohio. We came to Columbus committed to the ideal that encouraging people to participate in the political process is a vital and patriotic undertaking. While pursuing our goal, we began to feel we had made a home. We worked here, lived here, and made friends here. Feeling part of the Columbus community, we decided to register to vote.

Let there be no doubt, we firmly believed we satisfied all requirements written on the Franklin County Board of Elections Voter Registration Form.

Nevertheless, we did not understand the state's technical definition of "resident," and registered not knowing that. Our intention was to register in the community we had become so involved in, but because of our misunderstanding we will not be able to vote in Ohio and may not be able to vote in this election at all. We highly value the importance of a free and fair election, and hope that others will take the necessary steps to ensure they fully meet Ohio's residency requirements before registering to vote. Speaking directly to the people of Ohio, our mistake was an honest one, but it was a mistake nonetheless. Without reservation, we apologize to the community, which has been so welcoming to us, for the problems this misunderstanding has caused. Thank you.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien said the 13 registrations will be revoked and the five votes that were already cast will be cancelled. O'Brien credited Palestra for bringing this case to light.
Yes, I'm sure you smart professionals didn't realize you were breaking the law. I wonder how many other Obama supporters have infiltrated other states to vote.

They were canvassing for Obama, registered as Democrats in states which they were not legal residents, admitted voting for Obama, and in at least a couple of cases, may have voted for Obama in their home states. Other than that, nothing.

I didn't see any evidence in that article that they had been hired by Obama's campaign.

I don't think I have ever seen any evidence that Obama is involved in anything but rescuing kittens and making blind men see. At least according to his supporters.

Exactly, Nobama is pretty much Mother Theresa in a man's body in the eyes of his cult. Not only is he going to save America & the World but he'll also cure cancer and save the whales.

Mark Jacoby, Owner Of Young Political Majors LLC, Hired By California GOP To Register Voters, Arrested For Voter Fraud

"His arrest came after dozens of voters said they were duped into registering as Republicans by people employed by YPM. The voters said YPM workers tricked them by saying they were signing a petition to toughen penalties against child molesters. The firm was paid $7 to $12 for every Californian it registered as a member of the GOP."

So the Specter of voter fraud arises in election

And we might ask ourselves Could the US election be stolen?
