Officials found guilty in Obama, Clinton ballot petition fraud

A jury in South Bend, Indiana has found that fraud put President Obama and Hillary Clinton on the presidential primary ballot in Indiana in the 2008 election. Two Democratic political operatives were convicted Thursday night in the illegal scheme after only three hours of deliberations in South Bend. They were found guilty on all counts.
Former longtime St. Joseph County Democratic party Chairman Butch Morgan Jr. was found guilty of felony conspiracy counts to commit petition fraud and forgery, and former county Board of Elections worker Dustin Blythe was found guilty of felony forgery counts and falsely making a petition, after being accused of faking petitions that enabled Obama, then an Illinois Senator, to get on the presidential primary ballot for his first run for the White House.
Morgan was accused of being the mastermind behind the plot.
According to testimony from two former Board of Election officials who pled guilty, Morgan ordered Democratic officials and workers to fake the names and signatures that Obama and Clinton needed to qualify for the presidential race. Blythe, then a Board of Elections employee and Democratic Party volunteer, was accused of forging multiple pages of the Obama petitions.
"I think this helped uphold the integrity of the electoral system," the prosecutor, Stan Levco told reporters.
“I think had they been challenged successfully, he probably would not have been on the ballot,” Levco told Fox News.
You poor conservatives, you'll never get over Obama winning two terms, will you? You'll be old & decrepit & you'll still be complaining about it. Just festering & rotting away.

Your hatred of the American Electoral system is duly noted.

Nope but it will be a wonderful * next to his rule. Like the steroid kings of baseball.
I thought you guys had already decided that Obama was a dictator and that he wouldn't step down after the second term. Thus, you shouldn't really treat anything election-related as "breaking news."
I don't see where anyone said that it would. They should have a way to check a random sample of signatures. Since the link says 9 of 10 pages of sigs were forged, that would have caught it.
That's how my state (WA) does it with ballot measures. Supporters have to collect a certain number of sigs to get on the ballot. When the sigs are turned in, the Secretary of State checks a random sample to estimate what pct. of the sigs are actually good.
Voter ID would have kept Obama out of office this time around. The cheating was rampant.
False. You poor poor conservatives, such sore losers!
