Can Limbaugh be nailed for Ohio election fraud?

avatar

Short answer, for those of you familiar with the developing story,
appears to be No, we apparently can’t put Rush’s pilonidal cyst behind
bars for recreational fun for some some Ohio criminals named “Bubba.”

Whether you are familiar or not with the story, read on:

Truthout reports Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) is investigating GOP crossovers
voting in the Ohio Democratic primary. In Ohio, doing a temporary party
change for that reason (Ohio primaries are semi-closed or semi-open,
depending on which way you look at it) is a criminal offense, and Rush
Limbaugh (and Laura Ingraham) encouraged exactly such behavior.

However, the law applies only to actual voters. And, Ohio's statute on conspiracy does not extend as low as a fifth-degree felony.

Read my blog for citations on the relevant Ohio laws.
