Ohio Poll Worker Who Admitted to Voting for Obama Twice May Have Actually Cast a Total of 6 Ballots

The Ohio woman who cheerily admitted to voting twice for President Barack Obama, is under investigation into whether she cast a whopping total of six ballots.

Melowese Richardson of Madisonville, Ohio admitted to Cincinnati’s WCPO-TV earlier this month that she mailed in an absentee ballot, but also cast her vote at the polls because she feared it wouldn’t be counted. She said she did it to “fight” for “Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States.”

“Yes I voted twice,” Richardson, a longtime poll worker, told WCPO. “I, after registering thousands and thousands of people, certainly wanted my vote to count, so I voted. I voted at the polls.”

She told the station she had “absolutely no intent” to commit voter fraud — even though she also admitted to sending in her granddaughter’s ballot, and that three other ballots, all received at the same time and containing similar handwriting, came from her home as well.

“It appears she not only attempted to vote more than once, but was actually successful at it and having those additional votes counted,” Ohio Secretary of State John Husted, who runs the state’s elections, told Fox News. “She appears to have used her position as a poll worker to cover her tracks. That would be someone who is an official in the elections process, using that position to commit a fraud.”

Richardson defended the other ballots sent from her house, telling WCPO some of those voters — Montez Richardson, Joseph Jones and Markus Barron — actually live in her home and that they were all legal votes.

“Markus Barron lives here. Joseph Jones is my brother. He’s here from time-to-time. I am Montez’s power-of-attorney. I voted for her in her absence,” she said.

Efforts by TheBlaze to contact Richardson were unsuccessful.

Hers is one of 19 cases of possible voter fraud in Hamilton County in the last election.

“When I find issues like this, I know that it undermines voter confidence in our elections, and we must pursue it,” Husted said.

When you think that 18 year olds died in battle to insure our right to self determination, this should be a death penalty crime. Any illegal found voting once should face the same.

  The more I think about it… the more I agree with you. They can always claim they did not know it was wrong, but if they are that stinking ignorant they need to be removed from the gene pool so they can no longer procreate.

  I don’t really agree with that position but certainly a forfeiture of all future voting rights with prison time associated if voter fraud is ever proven on someone.
  
  Sadly, this isn’t the worst kind of vote maniupulation. The outright purchasing of votes happens regularly and played a key role in this election.
  
  Personally, allowing people that are running for office to promise any benefit to any specific ‘class’ of public person should be illegal.
  
  The constitution guarantees a promotion of the general welfare but specific checks to Mr. or Ms. Soandso should be illegal. Just doing that alone would fix a vast majority of our issues with the Federal Government. That would force Social Security, Medicare and other programs down to the State level where better control and oversight has a CHANCE of happening (not that it would) and the smart States would push it down to local governments and just offer assistance to local governments that can’t meet some minimum State standard.
  
  If you take the benefits out of the Federal system, suddenly voter fraud becomes less likely amongst the general populace since there’s no benefit to cheating.

  I think this is just one example of a wide spread problem. It would explain why Romney didn’t get a single vote in some counties and why some counties had more votes that registered voters. As our founders said, our system only works if governed by men of conscience and integrity. With a Department of “Justice” that prosecutes crimes based solely off skin color and political affiliation, it isn’t a huge stretch that they would fortify their power by ensuring that voter fraud is not investigated in any more than a token effort. I thoroughly believe we live in a banana republic. The evidence for it grows daily.

  Spare me as in the case of Vietnam, Iraq and perhaps others it is our government and military that spared the life of our youth for essentially NOTHING. And as soon as the blaze or you do the research and identify all the potential questionable ballots across the entire country, cherry picking one that just happens to be an afro-american democrat is at best cheap opportunism. But of course it is the truth you seek….. yea right.

  I think death penalty is a bit harsh. But it should be a serious crime, with a major punishment(possibly revoke their status to vote in all future elections?)
  
  Hopefully people will wake up.

  Honesty-
  
  I said what happens if she got found cheating again- prison time. I am not for felons getting votes, I believe if you violate the nations laws enough to warrant having your freedom removed from you for more than a year, you need to be on probation to get your citizens rights back. If you can prove a productive, trustworthy member of society after some point of time, we’d give you those rights back, until then you shouldn’t be able to vote or any other constitutionally guaranteed right of citizenship. You’d get the right to life and work in this country, also all further accusations would still require due process of law, but you would not be a US citizen and NOT be able to return to the country once you left it during your probationary period.
  
  Sure, it’s not kill someone, but the punishment needs to fit the crime, voter fraud is not someone killing someone, it’s an abuse of your citizen’s rights. Abuse something, get it removed. End of story.

And there is no voter fraud so says the DemoNazis/Progressives. If she is found to be guilty then her thumbs should be cut off and not allowed to vote, and after she cannot feed herself due to her thumbs missing she is not allowed to collect any assistance.

Point of interest: Where I vote we always see cars parked in the parking lot for the polling stateion that have out of state license plates. When we bring it up we are told they will look into it.

Wonder if this deceiver was trained by Acorn? Prez takes so much pride in his community organizer skills and work @ Acorn. My parents are rolling over in their graves seeing all this junk ruining the once wonderful USA. They taught me to never buy anything until earning the money to pay for it. Sure is a lesson unlearned by Prez Megalomaniac and the most of our voted in employees in Congress.

Absolutely dispicable. But here is the kicker:

She said she did it to “fight” for “Mr. Obama’s right to sit as president of the United States.”

The Office of the President of the United States is not a “right”, it is a priveledge.

Remember precincts all over the country went 100% for obama, not only that In many precincts more votes were cast than people registered to vote. Your election was not much of an election. Those in charge of enforcing the laws, are now protecting the criminals. What are our options again for correcting course?

  No, in a state with 88 counties, only FIVE count em five counties carried Bathhouse barry. Odd is it not that only in those counties did we have precincts that miraculously had 100% or greater voting for him. The DNC is stonewalling HARD when it comes to investigating voter fraud in those counties. It is a miracle this story made it to the public airways. This token cheat will be convicted and be put on probation….unfortunately.

This isn’t new and it isn’t uncommon. And, you do not have to be a poll worker to pull it off. Like this woman, they think they’re doing the right thing. It is a mentality that they have been oppressed, so rules and laws do not apply to them… or any dimocrat. It is okay to lie and break laws as long as you’re helpin’ a brother out.

So, the big question, and most of us know the answer, is, how many other low life’s did the same thing? This election was stolen. Why do you think they were busing hoards of Union members around from city to city to vote? Specifically in the cities where you can’t ask for ID. They should send this woman to the electric chair and set an example, but the DOJ would never do that under Holder… much less prosecute her. What she did was treasonous.

She needs to tell that lie to someone who will believe it. You can’t tell me that she didn’t realize she was committing voter fraud, and her being a poll worker at that!. BULL!!! She knew exactly what she was doing.

This election was railroaded plain and simple.

I think 6 years of spending her weekends doing community service, loss of voting priveliedges for the next 5 presidential elections and a restraining order that results in her immediate arrest and life in prison for stepping foot within 100 yards of any polling location for the next 20 years – I would be satisfied with that as a resolution. My first choice is the death penalty for TREASON, but she is so ignorant that I am sure that would be a mercy killing…
