A court in Ohio sentenced an environmental activist to six months in jail after pleading guilty to 13 felony counts of voter fraud.
Rebecca Hammonds faced 35 counts of falsely registering people to vote and forging signatures on voter registration forms.
Via the Salem News:
Hammonds was a paid canvasser for the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC), a liberal activist group that was active in registering voters in the southern part of the county during September and October 2015, when the voter registration fraud occurred. In October of that year, the county elections board director contacted the sheriff’s office after his staff began finding discrepancies in voter registration applications filed by OOC, including five submitted in the name of dead people.
In an ironic twist, Hammonds group once accused the local Board of Elections of engaging in voter fraud themselves.
“It’s our last great hope that our elections are fair, and it seems to have gone wrong on the local level,” a representative of the group said at the time. “Something has run amok.”
Indeed it has, but little did he know it would involve a member of his group.
The Judge in Hammonds case could have granted her probation, though he felt the charges were too serious to overlook.

“I just can’t overlook this,” Judge C. Anthony Pike said. “You attempted to violate the integrity of our election process in the county.”
He then ruled that Hammond “made a mockery of our system.”
“If 180 days (in the county jail) doesn’t teach you a lesson, nothing will.”
The sentence comes on the heels of an investigation by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted, who discovered hundreds of non-citizens were registered to vote in his state, while dozens of them did cast a ballot in 2016.

Then you mention the Republican, are you talking about Terri Lynn Rote of Iowa who voted twice … for Trump.
Phillip Cook of Texas who voted twice … for Trump.
Audrey Cook a Republican elections judge of Illinois who voted twice … for Trump.
When you vote twice, they open the ballot publicly.
What a sentence, 6 mo for conviction on 13 felonies? This case proves that Lib/Dems were violating US Voting Laws. An example needs to be made…..6 mo is hardly a deterrent.
We need to pass a National Voter ID law to eliminate illegal voting.
Why didn’t she get eight years like that Republican who committed voter fraud?
Because she is a flaming Liberal–probably much like the (non-partisan) judge, who is undoubtedly up for re-election in a very few heavily Republican precincts. He HAD to do something!
Is voter fraud a major issue? Does an owl give a hoot? If you answered yes to both of these questions, you MIGHT be a frikkin genius! But, at least, you AIN’T a flaming, compulsively lying Liberal.
Imagine what’s going on in states like NY and CA where illegal aliens and dead people are encouraged to vote (as long as it’s for Democrats)
The FIRST registered Democrat is STILL voting in every election, in every precinct, in all fifty states AND the five territories. Her name was/is, Granny O’Bammy. She was/is a mock-Irish proto-Kenyan, illegal alien. Her baby sister, Moochie O’Bammy was second, and she still votes too.
wait, hold on, voter fraud doesnt exist according to liberals and democrats, so how is this story possible?
WAIT! George. . . . Your brain has slipped a cog and diverted you into a disrememberance! Both Liberals and Democrats (not necessarily the same slimy critter, by the way) suffer early on-set cognitive dysfunction and simply cannot differentiate buffalostuff from reality. In the land of the fruit loop, voter fraud simply cannot exist, because recognition of such would imply a “THINKING BRAIN!’ Now, you know better than that!
