As a Hamilton County poll worker, Melowese Richardson helped people exercise a precious right.

Today, because she voted illegally in the name of others, including one who was in a coma, she was sentenced five years in prison. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman could have imposed the maximum prison sentence of six years after Richardson was convicted in May of four counts of illegal voting in exchange for prosecutors dropping four other charges.

Three of her four convictions involved voting for a relative who has been in a coma since 2003. Richardson was a Hamilton County poll worker since 1998 but that ended when she was indicted.

Fellow election workers recognized her handwriting on ballots from the same address, information that helped lead to her convictions. Richardson, 58, of Madisonville, admitted she voted illegally in 2008, 2011 and 2012 elections:    http://news.cincinnati.com/art.....oting?nclick_check=1

If you vote more than once, or vote as someone else, you are guilty of "VOTER FRAUD".
If you are an election worker (as in this case) you are guilty of "ELECTION FRAUD".  A very different
crime.
  The media often uses these terms as if they were interchangeable, and many people are confused
as to the difference.

Voter ID laws may eliminate some 'voter fraud' but they will have no effect on "ELECTION FRAUD"
by poll workers.


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
