Voters will be investigated

Douglas County Election Commissioner Dave Phipps plans to ask law enforcement to investigate a “half-dozen” Omaha voters who allegedly attempted to cast ballots twice in last month’s recall election.

Phipps said those people did not succeed in voting twice in the Jan. 25. election, in which Omaha Mayor Jim Suttle narrowly avoided being recalled from office.

The half-dozen voters cast ballots early, before Election Day, Phipps said. But he said their attempts to vote at polling places, as well, were thwarted because records indicated they had voted early.

As a result, he said, poll workers made them vote provisionally, with their sealed ballots set aside with other provisional ballots until officials could examine each one. He said the duplicate ballots were rejected and thus were not included in the final vote tally.

Omahans rejected the recall by 2,310 votes, according to the final, official count.

1. But they subverted democracy
so they don't get to have a say till they correct that

why it is so funny they have nothing to vote with :)


And worse they thought it was about blood lines so are trapped by that, so they are dead in the water.

2. I think evidence of vote fraud should be investigated.
And if proof is found there should be prosecutions.

I believe this regardless of whether cases of fraud are by people counting the votes
or by people casting the votes.
