Terence Hines, 44, of 603 National Cemetery Road was taken into custody about 5 p.m. on charges of forgery and multiple counts of fraudulent registration or voting, 12th Circuit Solicitor Ed Clements III said.

Hines’ arrest was the culmination of a State Law Enforcement Division investigation that began soon after Hines turned in two large boxes containing more than 1,500 completed voter registration forms to the Florence County Voter Registration Office last Thursday.

“There were a lot of forms there and from the beginning, something just didn’t seem right about them,” Clements said. “Florence County election officials began checking some of the names and quickly found out that a lot of the people were already registered and the information on the forms didn’t match what was on the records, and several other people whose names were on these forms were deceased. None of the information added up.”

The name and address on one of the forms happened to belong to Florence Mayor Frank Willis, which gave officials even more cause for suspicion.

This is starting to look more and more like a unified national effort.

With the Dems turning in tens of thousands of phony registration forms all over the country, I have to wonder how many counties have the resources to carefully check each one for duplication, proper address, etc. Somehow, I think the Dems are counting on just such an inability to catch all the bogus ones in time.

"...I have to wonder how many counties have the resources..."

Or the desire. In democrat controlled counties and cities, voter fraud will continue unchecked.
