Last week Al Sharpton embraced convicted vote fraudster Melowese Richardson at a “voting rights” rally in Cincinnati. The United States Department of Justice under Eric Holder has done nothing to Melowese Richardson 410 days after she admitted on camera that she committed multiple federal felonies by voting six times for President Obama’s reelection.
Federal law makes it a felony to vote more than once for President. In fact, 42 U.S.C. Section 1973i(e) subjects Richardson to twenty-five years in federal prison for her six votes for Obama.
The lack of DOJ action against an unrepentant federal vote fraudster combined with Richardson’s lionization by Sharpton and the organization that sponsored the rally demonstrates how the Justice Department is facilitating a culture of brazen criminality on the eve of the 2014 midterm elections. The failure to indict Richardson is the latest example of Holder’s department excusing lawlessness in federal elections and abandoning law abiding Americans.
Melowese Richardson was charged with state voter fraud crimes in Ohio. She was found guilty and sentenced to five years in prison on July 7, 2013. Unfortunately, instead of serving five years, Richardson was set free after only eight months.
A state court judge dismissed her May 2013 conviction and five-year prison sentence and allowed her to plead no contest to four counts of illegal voting, the same charges for which she was convicted.
Richardson was represented by the George Soros-funded Ohio Justice and Policy Center, which claimed she suffered from bi-polar disorder. No claim was made that she was insane when she committed her election crimes. Nor was any effort made to establish her insanity.
Her mental state was healthy enough to appear at a rally this week with Al Sharpton where she received warm applause and a hearty embrace by Sharpton.
Federal criminal charges, even after a state court conviction, do not implicate double jeopardy. The Justice Department routinely charges criminals who were previously subject to state charges. The Justice Department’s US Attorney’s Manual spells out the three tests for a federal prosecution of Richardson, standards which are easily satisfied.
First, the matter must involve a substantial federal interest; second, the prior prosecution must have left that interest demonstrably unvindicated; and third, applying the same test that is applicable to all federal prosecutions, the government must believe that the defendant's conduct constitutes a federal offense, and that the admissible evidence probably will be sufficient to obtain and sustain a conviction by an unbiased trier of fact.
Federal charges against Richardson easily satisfy DOJ guidelines. There is a unique federal interest in ensuring voter fraud does not taint the election of the President and Congress. Second, the federal interest in having valid elections for President and Congress remains unvindicated; Richardson walks free and is now being cheered at rallies. Last, Richardson admitted on camera that she committed multiple federal felonies and her handwriting matched the ballot applications that were sent to her house. Game, set, match.
DOJ doesn’t hesitate to bring federal charges against local police officers. For example, when a policeman receives a light sentence in state court after allegedly employing excessive force against a citizen, the DOJ Civil Rights Division is keen to initiate federal prosecution to exact its own federal pound of flesh against that officer. But the failure to prosecute Richardson demonstrates that criminal behavior which aids the reelection of President Obama receives very different treatment.
Federal charges against Richardson for voting for Obama six times can be initiated by Assistant United States Attorney Anthony Springer, who serves as the District Election Officer (DEO) in Cincinnati. U.S. Attorney Carter Stewart could also initiate charges, as could the Public Integrity Section in Washington D.C., or even Eric Holder himself.
DEO Anthony Springer donated $750 to Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign according to FEC records.
Ohio Votes sponsored the rally where Richardson appeared with Sharpton. According to their website, it is a “year-round, statewide, nonpartisan 501(c)(3) voter mobilization initiative. It galvanizes nonprofits based in low income Ohio communities to increase voter participation and join efforts for fair elections.” The umbrella organization received $1,886,723 in government grants in 2012. The organization’s tax returns state the group exists to change “onerous voting laws” and that it focuses on “educating voters on the mechanics of how, when and where to participate in early voting for the Presidential election.”
The IRS continues to provide the group 501(c)(3) tax exempt status despite its active role in the reelection of the President, and its embrace of election criminals.

James did you consider that making people angry was their goal all along. Think of how many things O has done to destroy our way of life as we know it with little response to his actions, he is just a puppet for those who wish to kill us off for profit as slowly as possible. Asking yourself why do the other people in the world understand this more than we do is, only that we have been chosen by the bankers to be first for destruction. We drink Fluoride, eat poison food breath poisoned air and are fed lies that everything is alright. We wait for the official word that there are aliens when we already know the answer.
You spend a great deal of time posting things that will wake people up to what is going on that are corrupt, I used to do the same thing. I found that fear was not working very well by watching the many people that ran from me. Anger is another emotion that is destructive, but how do you not use these to awaken people was a challenge to me. We all are here on earth to learn lessons and we have a purpose and yours is probably to teach others like mine is. Cheryl and Lee just had a QHHT session that changed my life as well as theirs very quickly. This is not an I just saw Jesus moment it is a I just saw myself moment. On the main page are the sessions that they just had it is worth the time to read them and the many comments that came from them. It may not be time for you to experience this phase of your life, but just remember the Name Delores Cannon and when it is it will happen.
When we lost control of education we were doomed to have an unaware population, stupid no just uneducated on purpose. When we lost the media to the government we really had a problem. When we lost our voting ability to corrupt voting machines we were not even aware. We are not even given a real choice of who we voted for. The last election was a perfect example when media did not let Ron Paul in the debates because he was winning whenever he appeared. We are stupid by design.
It baffles me how Americans keep on voting themselves into slavery and dictatorship wrapped in a pretty ribbon...
She voted 6 times for an ineligible candidate and she smiles. If she is insane, then what is the excuse for the rest of the country? After 8 years of G W Bush, and the propaganda about how bad Muslims are and how bad Saddam Hussein was, and this country votes in Barrack "Hussein" Obama. Is that some kind of breath taking stupidity on the scale of millions? We still don't know if he is Barry Soetero or even who the hell he is. I guess only the most recent propaganda works on the brain.
I have a friend who is bipolar and each person in the head does not know that the other exist! All you ever hear is " I never did that or I never said that or I dont remember that or that never happened. " I can see where she could get off for that.
