HoodaThunk?

Via Instapundit I was directed to this post over at The Volokh Conspiracy detailing convictions in the Ohio voter fraud trials of people who came there to illegal double-vote for Obama. From the linked Columbus Dispatch story:

A Franklin County judge told three out-of-state campaigners for Barack Obama who voted here illegally that they should have known better.

The three chose Ohio over their home states — where Obama was likely to win — because they wanted to swing the Electoral College vote toward their candidate, Common Pleas Judge Charles A. Schneider said.

He ordered a year’s probation, a $1,000 fine and a 60-day suspended jail sentence for Daniel “Tate” Hausman, 32, and Amy Little, 50, both of New York, and Yolanda Hippensteele, 30, of California.

All were paid staff members for Vote Today Ohio, an independent get-out-the-vote organization supporting the Democratic presidential candidate.

One of those convicted, Yolanda Hippensteele, now has “some fear that this [conviction] will impact my reputation.” Well, yeah, Ms. Hippensteele, it’s supposed to affect your reputation. Your reputation is that you purposely attempted to defraud the voting process and you shouldn’t be trusted around politics, not one iota. You and your Obama-supporting company are precisely what you’ve been screaming your heads off about for 8 years: frauds. Live with it.

Directly below that on the Volokh page was this video on YouTube that sums up the little budget theater Obama put on a couple of weeks about when he made such a deal of cutting $100 million out of the budget. This one explains it very well.
