True The Vote Forged Signatures To Get Observers At Ohio Polls
by Joseph on November 5, 2012 · 16 Comments
Yesterday we reported that True the Vote was attempting to place observers at precincts in Central Ohio, focusing on African American districts. We also noted that there might be some problems with the forms they submitted to the Franklin County Board of Elections (FCBOE).
The FCBOE met today and determined that True the Vote had likely falsified the forms submitted for general election observers. The new observer forms, filed over the past few days by True the Vote representative (and Hilliard Tea Party Member) Jan Loar, used candidate signatures copied from a previous set of forms filed in early October
All but one of the six candidates whose names appeared on the original form had withdrawn permission to use their signatures prior to the submission of todays forms. During the BOE meeting Candidate Terri Jamison spoke up to say her name was forged on the latest round of forms.
The form for appointing observers reads election falsification is a 5th degree felony. Election officials have confirmed that there will be a post-election investigation of True the Vote.

(2,495 posts)Their request to be observers inside the polling locations was unanimously denied. Outside anyone is allowed to observe, there is nothing that can be done there.

This is fraud and I want prison sentences to deter future cheats!

(45,319 posts)up to 6 months. This OP says 5 out of 6 forged, that makes a possible 2.5 year stint right off the top.

(32 posts)felons may not vote during their term of incarceration. After being released through parole, conditional pardon or into a community-controlled correctional facility, the right to vote will be restored.
Even better: Unless the conviction is reversed or annulled, Ohio felons may not hold public office.

(51 posts)Is this a sample of what's happening elsewhere using assorted creativity to skewer election results?

(12,882 posts)privately influenced (rigged) voting machines, intimidation of prospective voters, shrinking of voting time possibilities and outright felonious acts of violence and registration disposal - it's time for REAL voting reform in this country! How ironic that in a cycle where the Right aimed SO MUCH FOCUS on the nearly non-existant fraud that they perceived as all-pervasive - THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE PERPETRATING THE FRAUD!!! I guess they ARE justified in being so cautious - what with them having "inside information" that fraud WOULD be prevalent this time around!
