As Ohio election officials investigate illegal crossover voting in the 2008 primary, questions arise on Rush Limbaugh's role.
Limbaugh, the nation's top-rated talk radio host, was urging Republicans in Texas and Ohio to skip their party's primary on March 4 and instead cast a vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the fight between her and Barack Obama.
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.
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."
In 2008, 2.22 million Ohioans voted in the Democratic primary, compared to 1.27 million in 2000, according to unofficial results released by Brunner's office. In contrast, 1.01 million Ohioans voted in the 2008 Republican primary, compared to nearly 918,000 people in 2004.
Michael Slater of Project Vote, a nonpartisan group that designs voter registration drives for low-income people, said GOP meddling in the Ohio Democratic Primary was a clear-cut example of fraudulent voting, which is how Republicans have defined the issue in recent years, as GOP advocates have urged state legislatures and Congress to adopt anti-fraud measures such as tougher voter ID laws.
"Here we have a real instance of spurring people on to engage in illegal election activities with a real intent to affect the outcome," Slater said. "That is voter fraud. People were encouraged to break the law. They had to declare allegiance to a political party and sign a document under penalty of perjury. Intent is what matters in voter fraud."
Don’t get your panties in a bunch Hillary will not bet elected anything.Rush is correct in what he’s doing, it’s fun and the dems are doing our dirty work. Those two will tear each other 9 ways to Sunday before there done.
Cricket said (THAT said. . .think ‘Operation Chaos’ a bad idea as it simply reflects the indifference to fair and due process that Liberals have always ignored and celebrated. Don’t want us adapting to cheap Lib MO’s; and am disappointed Rush is going there.)
If you are unwilling to get down in the mud with the pig you can not expect to whip him.
Very funny. :-)

Well, close to my second point of meeting/matching/mirroring them; with the truth versus their re-writes.
That said, am a long-time admirer of Rush; but 'still' wish he had chosen a 'higher ground' for his offensive. .
I mean, 'why play in the mud' if you do not have to. . .
No question, however,that Rush is enjoying it all; as are the Opposition.

Not with his cult of personality following him around like he's Jerry Garcia. We're now down to the Kooks v. Clinton, Inc. v. Whatever RINO Mutation McCain is.
Some choice, huh?

If you don’t listen to Rush, what are you doing on this thread? How about you just STFU and go back to ordering your illegal aliens around?
I did not know listening to Rush is mandatory for anybody posting on FR.
If you can not take the heat GTFOTK and take some English classes.
Heat? Do you think your crabby, uninformed, blather is heat? And what does the “K” stand for? Kouch? English lessons, indeed.
