A federal prosecutor cut a deal with 13 Barack Obama campaign workers who illegally cast ballots in Ohio on Thursday (10/23). The 13 out-of-staters pulled their ballots after being warned that temporary residents can’t vote in the battleground state.
The 13 workers — 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 ballots yesterday.
This action came after prosecutor Ron O’Brien personally spoke with lawyers for both Obama and John McCain camps and urged them to make sure their staffs met permanent-residency rules, or face possible felony charges.
On Thursday, the 13 Obama staffers — including four from New York — escaped jail time by tossing out their already-cast ballots after admitting they weren’t permanent residents of Ohio.

No comment………Won’t even bother. Nice photo of Obama
this goes to show how desperate people are for change. samething happened in 2000 with bush when he stole that election from gore. but no one got in trouble then. the republicans hide things very well
It is antics like this that will prove victorious for McCain. We will end up with many bad votes, a recount will be needed and because of all the scandal with Obama voters - he will not be our President. They will throw out many votes that they will say were some how illegal. We as Black Americans are proving that we can be our own worst enemy.
@missmiami… YEAH like “Casual Cool” ;-)
i always have to remind myself b.obama grew up as a surfer boy. that is why he has that “cool factor” about him. in a suit, in flip flops and jeans he is just cool as hail.
loves my future prez.
Man Obama is so doable. He can get it, right in the oval office.
