Four Democrats involved in an upstate New York voter fraud scandal were sentenced yesterday for their respective roles, receiving punishments ranging from hundreds of hours of community service, to jail time. The group consisted of a former city clerk, an ex-City Councilman, a Democrat operative, and a Committeeman who a year ago had declared ballot forgery in upstate New York to be “a normal political tactic“.
Those sentenced yesterday were cooperating witnesses in a scheme which saw dozens of voters testify that absentee ballots had been submitted in their names during the 2009 Working Families Party (WFP) primary. Securing the WFP line allowed Democrat candidates to obtain more votes in the general election.
Two others were tried together earlier in the year but a mistrial was declared after jurors were unable to sort through the hundreds of charges that both faced.
Later, tried separately, Michael LoPorto was acquitted when a WFP operative “augmented” her testimony, and Ed McDonough similarly was acquitted after a colleague so egregiously altered his testimony that the judge struck everything he said from the record.
Despite the questionable circumstances surrounding those acquittals, witnesses throughout both trials provided a glimpse into the seedy political underworld in upstate New York.
Democrats preyed on those they felt were the most vulnerable members of society, those making easy targets for their voter fraud scheme.
For instance:
They targeted immigrants who struggled with the English language and had little knowledge of the U.S. election process.
They targeted college kids with little money, paying them for their voter registration cards.
They targeted people living in low-income housing because there was a sense that poor people were “less likely to ask any questions".
They tricked mentally disabled individuals into signing over their absentee ballots.

I think their community service ought to include atleast 40 hours of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity and others.
One must always remember there are no good registered Democrats, child molesters or mussies.............
How about 5 years in federal prison for each illegal vote ?
Desecration of the voting franchise is an act of TREASON.
“Community Service” should have been “sporting a manila necktie.”
Makes you wonder with sentences like that, how
many times the Judge voted.
I thought voter fraud didn’t exist? At least that’s what liberals always tell us.
considering the major damage to this country that vote fraud has, does and will always produce, once convicted for any degree of vote fraud ought to carry a minimum of 20 years of hard labor in a federal prison. If you think that is cruel and unusual punishment, just consider all those who have given their lives and limbs to give and keep the right and freedom to even vote in this country. What these folks got can hardly be called punishment, let alone a deterrent to any future participation they may have in vote fraud.

Ok, so I pruned the headline a bit, but I didn't change a letter. Good enough for MSM work.
I think their community service should include holding the sight-in target for my varmint rifle.
“I think their community service ought to include atleast 40 hours of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity and others.”
You can’t fix criminally stupid or self-sevingly corrupt.
Notice how this conviction hinged upon defecting guilty plees.
The elections system is so ringed for corruption and fraud it is almost impossible to identify and convict perptators without someone testifying against themselves.
But the most key thing to note is the victims and the key to identifying them.
WE HAVE TO GO THOU THE VOTER ROLLS AND CHECK FOR THIS IN EVERY STATE!
Let me guess. They’ll be working at a Dem voter registration drive.
4 down, MANY MORE TO GO!!!
For them it is. It's all about culture. If you're a tribesman in New Guinea, cannibalism is the national nutrition program.
“I think their community service ought to include atleast 40 hours of listening to Rush Limbaugh, Shaun Hannity and others.”
Before or after they get a Singapore-style caning?;)
The marxist Working Families Party (WFP) is a part of the ACORN network, and one of its most successful political arms.
Time for a full exposure story on this group.
I think their community service ought to include hanging by the neck until dead.
A lot of lightning strikes considering how “rare” the Democrats claim vote fraud “really is”.
