Elections chief suspects voter fraud
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted wants the attorney general and the Lawrence County Prosecutor to determine if a group of Democrats attempted voter fraud in the 2010 general election.
If so, it could mean prison time and a fine for anyone convicted of these crimes.
On Tuesday Husted turned over to Mike DeWine and J.B. Collier the findings of his investigation into the applications of 119 Lawrence County absentee ballots for further review and possible prosecution.
“There was an attempt to violate the election law with the attempt to cast and count fraudulent votes,” Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted said in an interview with The Tribune on Tuesday. “If we didn’t believe there were irregularities that amounted to a violation of law we would not have referred it to the attorney general and the county prosecutor.”
The next step is for the county prosecutor to do the first review, Collier said.
“If it is appropriate we will pursue criminal charges,” he said.
Violations of these election laws are fourth degree felonies, which carry a maximum penalty of 18 months in prison and $5,000 fine for each conviction.
Sent to boxes
At issue are applications for absentee ballots that were sent to two post office boxes — 42 were sent to a box in the name of Ironton resident Charles Maynard and 77 were sent to a box in the name of Russell Bennett of Chesapeake during the fall of 2010.
“Of the 77 absentee ballot applications marked to be sent to Russ Bennett’s P.O. Box, 68 reportedly were hand-delivered to the Lawrence County Board of Elections office by a man named Butch Singer,” according to the letter sent to Mike DeWine and J.B. Collier.
In October a board of elections employee noticed that the handwriting in the “Send Ballot To” portion of the applications differed from that in the section with the voter’s name. The board then contacted 10 voters to see where they wanted their ballot sent.
“All 10 voters replied that they wanted their ballots mailed to them at their home address, suggesting that the ‘Send Ballot To’ portion of the absentee ballot application was completed after the voters filled in their application form,” Husted’s letter states.
Brunner starts investigation
In January a report on the investigation into the ballots, originally requested and overseen by then Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, was turned over to Husted, who took office that month.

Russell, Kimora & Djimon -- One Phat Happy Family | TMZ.com
SELF ABSORBED BIT**. EVERYTHING she has is because of the ex husband. I am all for a woman doing good things with her life and making something of herself, however, the egocentric self absorbed behavior and traits within her horrible personality makes me dislike her entirely. NARCISSISTIC and its sad because her adorable girls already are narcissistic like their mother and they cant even count to 1000 yet. I think splurging the way she does on useless crap is disgusting. New money never knows how to invest, what good does she really do with her ex husbands money?? Not much..look it up for yourself. Her line is ghetto to its definition. WHo the F wears her clothing line? Generally the same ppl who wear the gold earings that say Laquisha on it. Kimora, atleast come up with some cute stuff. You have the money dont u??? It goes to show, money doesnt buy class, taste, talent nor intelligence! She has made it this far because she was a gold digger, truth hurts. Then she got the money from the divorce.. ( OH YEAH, her modeling days didnt pay her that much). Use that money and teach your kids something of importance, dont make them become just like you.
What bugs ME about this *photo Op* is that she and Russel are standing with their girls....... while Djimon and their son are regulated to the background. Sad.
PS. Kimora Lee Simmons is her SAG name. Not hard to CHANGE, but it is almost like a Copyright, noticeable yanno? When Brad and Jen married, her LEGAL name changed to Jennifer Pitt, yet her SAG (Screen Actors Guild) name remained Jennifer Anniston. See the difference?
Nom de Plume people.
My thoughts are that if you preach about how much republican are for the wealthy and the democrates are for the average American then why did he invite these people who can afford their own easter egg hunt (spending money) as compare to some of those he seems to so care about. Either that or they had to pay 35,000 to enter and I guess that would leave most average American out!Mike w,
She probably typed out that paragraph for the same reason you typed out your post. She wanted to share her opinion. After all, this is the "comments" section.
Duh.
And I think she's spot on about Kimora. I watched a few episodes (well more like 5 minutes of a few episodes) and Kimora was such a dreadful person to watch. She has no substance - just a vapid, materialistic, vain airhead with zero personality.
