Default Ark. lawmaker pleads guilty to election charge

There is no election fraud.......

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A Democratic state legislator from east Arkansas, his father and two campaign workers pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to commit election fraud after federal prosecutors said the lawmaker's campaign bribed absentee voters and destroyed ballots in a special election last year.

Prosecutors said Democratic Rep. Hudson Hallum of Marion, Kent Hallum, Phillip Wayne Carter and Sam Malone acknowledged that they participated in a conspiracy to bribe voters to influence absentee votes in the Arkansas District 54 primary, runoff and general elections in 2011. The four were released pending a sentencing hearing.

"In a nation in which every person's vote matters, protecting the integrity of the electoral process from those who seek to win office by cheating the system is critical," Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane Duke said in a statement released by her office. "Voter fraud schemes such as that carried out in the 2011 District 54 race have the devastating effect of eroding public confidence in elected officials and disenfranchising voters."

I've never said there's no election fraud out there, and if anyone has here then they'd be wrong.

But there's no proof that the bribes actually caused anyone to change their votes, so there's no crime. Plus, they would need to produce the detroyed ballots in order to prove that they had been destroyed and they haven't done that yet. This is just another Republican witchhunt set up by the ghost of Breitbart, who was being channeled through Glenn Beck at a seance led by Rush Limbaugh.

Voter fraud does exist, but unlike the right would have you believe it's a two way street.
