The Voter Fraud Fraud 0
An actual voter fraudster lands in the dock:
The jury found Schurick guilty on all four counts, including election fraud and failing to include an Ehrlich campaign authorization line on the calls. After the verdict was read, Schurick clutched his wife, who burst into tears.
Prosecutors said the call, which was made as Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley swept to a re-election victory, was designed to suppress black votes.
The story goes on to quote from exhibits in the case that verify that black and other minority voters were specifically targeted. This should help the NAACP’s case.
The defense is taking the position that freedom of speech includes freedom to commit fraud.
The defendant’s expression in photographs taken after the court adjourned lead me to think he was stunned at being held accountable.
