Quote:Only days after a midterm election that dragged on for days beyond Election Day, Pennsylvania’s attorney announced the arrest of a Democratic consultant for orchestrating ‘widespread’ ballot fraud that included forging thousands of signatures.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro on Wednesday announced the arrest of Rasheen Crews, a Philadelphia-based Democratic consultant, for charges related to forging signatures on nomination petitions to get his clients on the ballot for the 2019 Democratic primary races in Philadelphia.

“In advance of the 2023 municipal elections, this arrest is an important reminder that interfering with the integrity of our elections is a serious crime,” said AG Shapiro. “By soliciting and organizing the wide scale forgery of signatures, the defendant undermined the democratic process and Philadelphians’ right to a free and fair election. My office is dedicated to upholding the integrity of the election process across the Commonwealth, to ensure everyone can participate in Pennsylvania’s future.”

It is telling that the Attorney General waited until after the 2023 midterm elections to announce the arrest for the 2019 crimes. If the announcement had come earlier, it would have drawn much more scrutiny to a Pennsylvania election process that was far from regular.

“An investigation by the Office of Attorney General found that in 2019, multiple candidates hired Crews to help them obtain the requisite amount of signatures needed for their nomination petitions for the Democratic primary races. Crews recruited individuals to help with the petition work, bringing them to a hotel room and asking them to write names, addresses, and forged signatures on multiple petitions,” Shapiro’s office announed on the arrest. “Crews then had these petitions notarized and filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State on behalf of his clients.”

“Of the petitions that were reviewed, over one thousand signatures were determined to be duplicated,” the AG continued. “Many names and addresses were found repeated on various petition pages, some pages appeared to be photocopied entirely, and some of the listed individuals claimed to have never signed the petitions in question. Due to the questions around the petition signatures, some candidates chose to withdraw entirely from the election.”

Crews was charged with Criminal Solicitation to Commit Forgery and Theft By Failure to Make Required Disposition. The criminal case is being prosecuted by Senior Deputy Attorney General Thomas Ost-Prisco. As noted, the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Ballot fraud is a real threat to America’s elections. The Pennsylvania attorney general has effectively admitted it with the arrest of a Democratic consultant. Maybe by 2025 Americans can find out if there were any similar ballot fraud operations in these midterms.

Now offer him a deal to tell you what went down in the mid term election before he gets stabbed in the back of his neck 20 times and it is deemed a suicide.

Most secure election ever.......

This is why I laugh so hard when people like RWT say “to think there is a bunch of people sitting in a room filing out ballots is stupid”.

If I had the political cover to not go to prison I would bet any amount of money that I could collect, fill out, and take photographic evidence that I possessed at least 200 ballots and then deposit the same into a drop box. The odds I would every be caught are unbelievably small, but I personally still wouldn’t risk it.

If you aren’t afraid to knock on doors and have a pocket full of $10 bills you can get all the mail in ballots you want when they mass mail them to everyone. To think that isn’t happening on a fairly large scale is ridiculous.

Shouldn't really surprise anyone.

I will highlight this one "minor" detail for those who apparently can't see the forest for the trees.

This is not voter fraud! And once again, the guy was caught.

Yeah, the title says ballot fraud but petitions aren't a ballot and aren't signature matched.

This is akin to what the GOP here in Michigan tried in the Governors race and were caught and were kicked off the primary ballot.

Although I think for MI it was more that they hired unqualified hacks to gather signatures rather than purposely getting illegal signatures like this idiot.

He was caught THIS time. That ends the fantasy that this kind of voter ID fraud is "impossible". Furthermore---catching the guy really didnt matter now did it? Its three years later. That election is over--proving once and for all that cheating pays off politically. That said, Ive come to the conclusion that while there is probably substantial voter fraud---the real battle is being lost on the ballot harvesting front. Thats not fraud. What that really entails is actively going out and collecting votes from the 50% (roughly) of people who dont really care about politics and regularly never bother to vote. There are millions and millions and million of votes out there that can be easily harvested---as long as you go to these people and make it virtually effort free for those people to cast a ballot.

lol.

This country is a dumpster fire.

now cross reference those forged signatures with this year's election and see how many abnormalities there are. Maybe none, maybe a some...

But this stuff doesn’t happen. Only happens when some Repub individual voted in both NY and at the Villages. He’s a domestic terrorist.

In the olden days of El Paso politicians used to herd Mexicans from Juarez into El Paso and pay them for their votes. A lot of Demoncraptic shenanigans were going on then just like it's still going on in other cities. The only reason that it's not done anymore here is because we have a Republican governor who makes sure we have paper ballots and honest elections in a big majority Demoncraptic city.

First, I never said anything like this was impossible.

Next, this has nothing to do with mail-in voting. It's not even remotely the same thing. In reading the actual announcement, this is pretty much identical to what happened in Michigan earlier this year.

Also, it sounds like this was known by many back in 2019 as several of the candidates that hired Rasheen Crews actually dropped out of those races.

What this guy did was forge signatures on petitions to merely get people on a ballot for municipal court elections. This is a far cry from an actual election where you vote individually. In an actual election, signatures are all matched back on mail-in voting...and it's virtually impossible for one guy to perpetuate such a fraud by voting in person assuming the identity of hundreds or thousands of voters.

And you're living in fantasy land if you think there could be some operation where millions of voters could be convinced to sign their signatures to the outside of a mail-in ballot envelope.

And I hope you're aware, but you do have mail-in voting in Texas.

You can vote by mail in Texas if you're pregnant and expecting to give birth within 3 weeks, 65 or older, out of the country, disabled, or in jail. And then you have to fill out a request form with signature and either a license number or other id.

Tom could qualify for two of those exemptions, I'm pretty sure.
