Earlier today, Battle ‘10 reported on the continuing absentee ballot scandal in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, home to the 8th district congressional race. The race is widely seen as a bellwether, with Rep. Patrick Murphy a member of the appropriations committee.
New reports are emerging that could spell trouble for Patrick Murphy’s campaign after it was revealed that his campaign manager controlled a post office box where voters were being instructed to send their absentee ballots. The ballots were then re-mailed to the county Board of Elections.
A letter from a fictitious agency, the “Pennsylvania Voter Assistance Office,” was sent to an unknown number of residents across the 8th district in southeastern Pennsylvania warning them that their ability to voter could be jeopardized unless they returned an enclosed absentee ballot in a pre-paid envelope that went to a private post office box in Bristol, Pa.
At issue is whether Rep. Patrick Murphy was directly involved, and whether absentee ballots were tampered with or discarded as they were proceeded through the post office box maintained by Tim Persico, his campaign manager.

I’ve counted at least five.
Even National review doesn’t mention that the guy is a DEMOCRAT!!!! geesh.
Imagine throwing every third absentee repub he basket.
Notice he wasn’t identified as a DEMOCRAT..that he is.
Dem vote fraud
the last straw. They are playing with a sleeping tiger.

Huh?
private post office box?
slammer time..
It’s not who casts the votes, but who counts them! Look for shenigans in many key, close races.
Since it’s National Review, I’m going to assume that they didn’t mention the guy was a Dem because if you’re reading National Review, you already know that he’s a Dem.
They do mention he’s a Dem in the next paragraph after the part I excerpted.
This sort of criminal behavior has to be stopped. As others have pointed out, Democrats have been caught doing this in other states, so it is clearly part of their national strategy to steal elections. In the face of all of this, the New York Times proudly proclaims that all of this talk about voting fraud is pure bunk.
This is just a warm up for what they intend to do in 2012. If we don’t nip it in the bud, we can kiss elections goodbye forever.
THAT, in a Nutshell, is the DIFFERENCE between Democrat and Republican! Democrats KNOW their people are ignorant, so they repeat and repeat......Republicans THINK their people are smart, so they don’t give the info because they think we already KNOW....when most people don’t!!
Actually, there are/were a series of letters that are/were sent intimidating voters. If you didn’t follow the instructions on the first letter greater threats were implied with the second letter.
No way Murphy didn’t know about this one. His campaign manager is the ring leader.
It seems to me that the Democrat should be compelled to fund a significant public service announcement that, if a voter submitted an absentee ballot to his organization, that voter should submit a later dated absentee ballot directly to the Board of Elections.
No, better plan is to frog march the campaign manager directly to jail and assign a postal inspector and two judicial observers to intercept all ballots addressed to that P.O. box and deliver them directly to the Elections Office where they should be segregated until they can be verified as valid ballots cast by valid registered voters. This guy has committed mail fraud and who knows what else.
“Democrat” doesn’t even come close to describing what Murphy is. He is bankrolled by moveon.org, thug unions, and the trial lawyers. His voting record is far to the left, and yet he portrays himself as a conservative Blue Dog.
I hope this vote fraud scandal blows up in his face and puts his lying, corrupt ass in jail.
Vote fraud steals our liberty. It should be a capital offense. If not capital, at least corporal (meaning the lash). People that do this think it’s just a minor offense, just part of politics. Tea party folks think it’s a sacrilege. Upgrading laws against tainting an election should be a priority.
And furthermore, this lying sack of **** has signs around the area proclaiming that he was a paratrooper.
Bull****. He was a JAG lawyer, not a soldier.
He is a disgrace to the US Army.
So they also kept track of who responded to the first/second/third letter too?
