Dateline Clackamas County, Oregon, yesterday.

From the online Willamette Week, a local publication:

Department of Justice Investigating Alleged Ballot Fraud At Clackamas County Elections

A Clackamas County elections worker is under criminal investigation for tampering with ballots, WW has learned.

The underlying allegation is that the woman, whose name has not been released, filled in blanks on ballots turned into the county for the Nov. 6 general election.

Sources familiar with the incident say their understanding is that the woman filled in a straight Republican ticket on the ballots where preferences had been left blank by voters.

She hasn't yet lawyered up (stupid git), but when she does, oh boy, is her lawyer going to be annoyed... because she confessed her criminal behavior to journalists who knocked on her door:

Suspect in Clackamas County Voting Fraud Case Claims Only Two Ballots Were Involved
The woman who’s at the center of a ballot-tampering investigation at the Clackamas County elections office tells WW the number of ballots involved in the case is two.

WW has identified the woman as Deanna Swenson, 55, of Oregon City, who until last Wednesday was working as a temporary employee at the county elections office. Swenson is now facing a criminal investigation, after elections officials say she filled in mailed ballots where voters left their preferences blank.

I was relieved that the fraud wasn't committed in my own voting county of Multnomah Oregon, although Clackamas is the second most populated county in the state.

So, thus far we have an example of double voting, a Republican in Colorado, and ballot tampering, a Republican and Teabagger in Oregon. Damn! The GOP is correct, vote fraud is a problem in this nation. Wonder how they knew that?:badgrin:

Not to mention a judge in Philly ordering an Obama mural covered up (read... electioneering)!
 
Oregon election worker fired for altering ballots to Republican straight ticket | The Raw Story

In a press release on Monday, Clackamas County spokesperson Tim Heider said that 55-year-old Deanna Swenson had been “relieved of duty immediately after the alleged ballot tampering was discovered.”

Swenson, who was registered as a Republican, was accused of filling in a Republican straight ticket on ballots where voters did not specify a choice.

Just happened across this story while looking for election night viewing parties in Everett, Washington...

From the Everett Herald, November 3, 2012:

Voter-fraud probe widens to include GOP-linked firm
... Small, 23, of Phoenixville, Pa., was arrested Oct. 18 and charged with eight felonies and five misdemeanors involving election fraud.

Rob Johnson, the manager of a local discount goods store, said he had seen a man toss a bag into the store's cardboard recycling bin and then had found that the bag contained registration forms. Johnson said in an interview that he called authorities the next day when he spotted the man's car, with Pennsylvania plates, parked at the Harrisonburg-Rockingham County Republican Party headquarters.

My goodness, what busy, busy, busy people!
