A former congressman convicted in the 1970s Abscam investigation was charged Thursday with new allegations that he bribed a poll worker to stuff ballot boxes in local elections.

Federal prosecutors alleged that U.S. Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers, now working as a campaign consultant, paid a South Philadelphia judge of elections to fraudulently add votes to candidates who had hired him to represent them in their races between 2014 and 2016 – a process he purportedly described as “ringing up votes.”

I just always had a spare single digit to give to Murtha :-)

LOL!

A bunch of DC Chapter freepers led by the inimitable Doc Raoul actually went all the way out to a pro-troops rally in Johnstown to freep that crooked moron for his anti-military bigotry during the Iraq War. Good times!

“Who remembers ABSCAM?”

I sure do.

Vote fraud should be a capital offense. It’s a direct attack on the entire body politic and should be treated as such.
