A former Judge of Elections has been convicted for his role in accepting bribes to cast fraudulent ballots and certifying false voting results during the 2014, 2015, and 2016 primary elections in Philadelphia.
Domenick J. Demuro, 73, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty during a sealed proceeding on March 16, 2020, before U.S. District Judge Paul S. Diamond to conspiring to deprive persons of civil rights, and using interstate facilities in aid of bribery. The court unsealed the matter today. Sentencing is scheduled for June 30, 2020.
During his guilty plea hearing, Demuro admitted that while serving as an elected municipal Judge of Elections, he accepted bribes in the form of money and other things of value in exchange for adding ballots to increase the vote totals for certain candidates on the voting machines in his jurisdiction and for certifying tallies of all the ballots, including the fraudulent ballots. Demuro further admitted that a local political consultant gave him directions and paid him money to add votes for candidates supported by the consultant, including candidates for judicial office whose campaigns actually hired the consultant, and other candidates for various federal, state and local elective offices preferred by that consultant for a variety of reasons. Demuro also admitted that the votes he added in exchange for payments by the political consultant increased the number of votes fraudulently recorded and tallied for the consultants clients and preferred candidates, thereby diluting the ballots cast by actual voters.

Here we go....Trump tweeted this story five minutes ago.

Does the benefits package include prison insurance?
Does anyone have the complete list of Republicans convicted of voter fraud?
This is consistent with my IL experience that there is far more fraud in primaries and low turnout off year elections than in November even year elections.
If the next election fraud panel is serious about fraud, that is where they should look and not just the November elections.
Most districts have a dominant party. Fraud is directed at control of that party. Fraud is mathematically much more effective in low turnout elections than in high turnout elections.
Alright. Let’s do some work.

Senate and AG election had total greater than the presidential election. Zappala is a DA who lost in the election to Josh Shapiro. In the match up between Farnese and Morley, Farnese won. Morley got a handful of votes. Fornese was later charged with buying votes.
