Voter Fraud?

Do you remember the charges that Republicans made about voter fraud in Ohio? Here is the result of an investigation as described at Cincinnati.com:

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters said he had allegations last fall of widespread voter fraud – allegations a special prosecutor reported Tuesday were wrong, noting the only voter fraud found was from a Connecticut man who told on himself.

“Ultimately,” Special Prosecutor Michael O’Neill wrote in a report, “the investigators discovered ‘get-out-the-vote’ practices, sponsored by community organizations, which took full advantage of this unique absentee-voting period, but no evidence these practices violated Ohio law.”

....Deters claimed his office had concrete allegations that people were offered booze and cigarettes to vote specific ways, suggesting they were voting for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama....

Deters must have a very low opinion of the people who voted for Barack Obama. Deters, a Republican, must think that people had to be bribed to vote for Obama. What Deters doesn't understand is that the large numbers of people that showed up to vote in Ohio was due to the fact that people wanted change---not the same old crap from the Greedy Old Party.

Joe Deters served as John McCain's regional chairman. Really.

*** Last night, David Letterman had some kind words for President Obama. Letterman said something like, "....God love President Obama because he really is trying to get things done...."
