...To Avoid Felony Charges:
[Q] - Thirteen campaign workers for Barack Obama yesterday yanked
their voter registrations and ballots in Ohio after being warned by a
prosecutor that temporary residents can’t vote in the battleground
state.
A dozen staffers - including Obama Ohio spokeswoman Olivia Alair
and James Cadogan, who recently joined Team Obama - signed a form
letter asking the Franklin County elections board to pull their names
from the rolls.
The letter - a copy of which was obtained by palestra.net, a Fox
News affiliate - came a day after prosecutor Ron O’Brien publicly
urged out-of-state campaign workers for both Obama and John McCain to
“examine your conscience” before the elections board beings begins
opening absentee ballots today.
Earlier in the week, O’Brien spoke with lawyers for both camps and
urged them to make sure their staffs met permanent-residency rules, or
face possible felony charges. -
