Those voters who were encouraged by Rush Limbaugh to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to “bloody up” Barack Obama for the general election may be indicted for voter fraud.  A felony punishable by $2,500 fine AND six to 12 months in jail. 

While this all makes for great talk radio and sounds like fun, there is one catch: What Limbaugh encouraged Republican voters to do in Ohio was a fifth-degree felony in that state, punishable with a $2,500 fine and six to 12 months in jail. That is because in order to change party affiliation in Ohio, voters have to fill out a form swearing allegiance to that party’s principles “under penalty of election falsification.”  On Thursday, March 20, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported that the “Cuyahoga County Board of Election has launched an investigation that could lead to criminal charges against voters who maliciously switched parties for the March 4 presidential primary.” According to the report, “One voter scribbled the following addendum to his pledge as a new Democrat: “For one day only.”  “Such an admission amounts to voter fraud,” the report continued, attributing that conclusion to BOE member Sandy McNair, a Democrat. The report said the four-member board — two Democrats and two Republicans — had yet to vote on whether it would issue subpoenas, although Ohio’s secretary of state, Democrat Jennifer Brunner, is empowered to cast tie-breaking votes when the BOE is deadlocked.  Read article

I wonder how funny jail will be for those engaged in this malicious manipulation of the democratic process.  Is your precious leader Rush Limbaugh worth doing jail time for in order to provide him with amusement?  I am sure that most states have similar laws on the books with respect to this kind of malfeasance.  So…….I ask Rush Limbaugh listeners, as well as other conservative talk show listeners who were told to complete such a task…..are you feeling lucky?  What’s six to 12 months of jail time……a mere blip in life’s journey.
