PONTIAC, Mich. (WJBK) - Two former leaders of the Oakland County Democratic Party are facing a total of nine felonies for allegedly forging election paperwork to get fake Tea Party candidates on November's ballot.

"It is not a partisan statement, and we need to make that very clear," said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper.

Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations Director Jason Bauer face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.

They will get a slap on the wrist and no media coverage from the MSM except Fox.

"What we have here is illegal.  It's forgery.  It's fraud.  It's perjury.  It's those things.  Then you cross a different line," said Bouchard.


What does that mean?

They could see the Republican sweep coming here and we're planning on dividing the vote. IIRC the "tea party" people they registered were all Democrats.

They should get the death penalty.  Tampering with elections will destroy confidence in those elections which could have catastrophic consequences.

I agree. Election fraud of any kind, and extralegal interference with the exercise of the franchise, should be punished with eye-popping severity.

I'd be surprised if they get more than a misdemeanor and a $50 fine.

Yep. Think of all the people who have lost their lives in wars fighting for the right to free elections in this country.



Hang them high!

What does that mean?
The usual election fraud from the Democrats, that is one thing (expected and accepted), but this time they really did something wrong/

Now if they were Black Panther part members, they would get an apology and some reparations from the government for the trouble they put them through.
