This month two states, Indiana and Virginia, have indicted Democrats and convicted felons on charges of vote fraud during the 2008 election cycle.
While reading these, remember that the left says there is no vote fraud in the USA…
In Indiana four St. Joseph County Democrat officials have had charges filed against them for allegedly forging Obama primary petitions during the 2008 election.
Authorities charge that the scheme to submit the fake petitions for Obama was hatched at the local county Democrat headquarters.
When news first broke of the scandal, Democrat County Party Chairman Butch Morgan resigned his petition. Morgan is now one of those officially charged.
Others charged are St. Joseph County Board of Voter Registration member Pam Brunette, worker Beverly Shelton, and Democrat volunteer Dustin Blythe.
In Virginia, a grand jury indicted 10 convicted felons on charges of voter fraud and for lying on registration forms during the 2008 election cycle.
Five men and five women were charged with making false statements on registration forms.
Those charged claim they were accosted by solicitors urging the felons to vote illegally during the 2008 cycle. Authorities could not find any of these purported solicitors and none are being charged in connection with these incidents of voter fraud.
Those being charged lied on registration forms by checking the box that said they had never been convicted of a felon and were eligible to vote.
Court dates have not been announced for those charged in Virginia.
