In Philadelphia a former judge of elections and Democratic committeeman from South Philadelphia accepted bribes from a paid political consultant. Why? To add votes for three Democrats running for judge. Domenick DeMuro added votes in 2014 2015 and 2016. He added 27 in 2014 40 in 2015 and 46 in 2016. While these sound like small numbers they made a significant difference at that polling place. For example in 2014 118 votes came in there. This means over 22 of those votes were fraudulently cast.
DeMuro received $2500 for the vote padding plus more money to help other candidates. He pled guilty this last week. He faces up to 15 years in prison.

3190 Fraudulent Votes Caught in One County

An elections spokesman said 2390 couldnt count because the signatures on the envelopes did not match those on file. The fraudulent ballots could have made a difference since some local races in Paterson turn on a few dozen votes. Four wards had more votes go uncounted than the winners margin of victory. This means the uncounted ballots could have swung those races the other way. Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political Economic and Moral Issues of Our Day. One of the city council races turned on just 8 votes; incumbent Shahin Khalique defeated challenger Mohammed Akhtaruzzaman. Shahin was the more conservative of the candidates.

Voters in Wisconsin and other states got caught voting twice during the fall election. The Wisconsin Election Commission just released the list of counties where 43 of the instances took place. Most of them involved mail-in ballots. Those accused voted by mail or in person in two different states. Some South Carolina ballots ended up in Maryland this past week. About 20 absentee ballots from Charleston County showed up out of state. Election officials blame it on the printer and admitted to previous problems with the company in the past. And that wasnt all. Some voters in Greenville County received the wrong ballots for the Democratic presidential primary and a special sheriffs election held 10 days apart. Voters in Charleston received ballots misfolded so they couldnt be properly scanned by machines.
