Michelle Malkin has done an excellent job in covering this story, so I’ll send you over there for the details of the case. However, here’s the latest good news: The ballots cast from the house will be cancelled.
At least 12 voters who listed the same east side address on their voter registrations will not have their ballots counted, the Franklin County Prosecutor’s Office announced Thursday.
No charges would be filed in the case, according to press release.
According to the release, the voter registrations in question had been canceled, and the absentee ballots would not be counted.
Last week, prosecutors opened an investigation into the voters after they each listed a home on Brownlee Avenue as their address on voter registrations, 10TV News reported.
10 Investigates later learned that the voters were members of “Vote From Home.” Part of the group’s mission involved registering voters and taking them to polling locations.
At least one of the volunteers told 10TV that he came to central Ohio to recruit voters, but did not plan on a long-term stay in the state.
“A lot of us have family in New York,” said volunteer Daniel Hemel. “(We) come from New York; we’re graduate students. Most from Oxford in New England and we’ve been living in Ohio for the summer.”
Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O’ Brien said he had made contact with some members of the group. He said they appeared confused about Ohio law.
I eagerly await the left’s cries of voter suppression and racism, even as the Ohio Democratic Secretary of State is allowing 200,000 peope whose information doesn’t match to vote without verification. One has to wonder just how many cases like this there are across the country. A scary thought.
