Ohio has your voter fraud

James Saunders, the 56-year-old Shaker Heights tax attorney convicted last week of voting multiple times in the last two general elections, was sentenced to three years in prison, a judge decided Monday morning.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Santoli coupled Saunders' sentence with a $10,000 fine, a punishment.

Throughout the case, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office presented evidence that Saunders, who traveled regularly to a second home in Pompano Beach, Florida, attempted to cross states lines to vote multiple times, by mail and in person in Broward and Cuyahoga counties.

Because Saunders' duplicitous votes infringed on federal law, his actions in Florida were under Santoli's, and the court's, jurisdiction.

His lawyer Scott Roger Hurley, an assistant public defender, said in closing arguments on Wednesday that his client didn't mean to commit the crime.

Hurley disputed Sanuders' case in the Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court, asking Judge Andrew Santoli to acquit his client and to "come to a just result here that acknowledges that, yes, mistakes do happen, accidents do happen."

However, Andrew Rogalski, an assistant county prosecutor, argued that Hurley's claim would have been more credible if Saunders, who is accused of two counts of voter fraud, did it once.

"The fact that you do that in consecutive general elections I think takes 'accident' to the land of imaginary doubt, and not reasonable doubt," Rogalski said

It was a simple mistake. An "accident". Anyone could make it. Who hasn't voted in the same election in two different states? (Twice)  I guess he won't make that mistake again.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
