Or to encourage people to vote for someone? If that's the case, then election laws are broken everytime a political commercial comes on the TV.

No one can know how much effect his Operation Chaos, or whatever it was called, had. People say it had a lot, but really, how can we know?

Limbaugh has a huge credibility gap. He used to whine about drug users until he himself got caught abusing oxycodone. If anyone were to be arrested for election fraud they should make him a co-conspirator in the charges.

Well, there is no doubt that he's trying to subvert the democratic process, and the Democratic Party's nomination process.

If a liberal commentator, say Al Franken or Michael Moore, were encouraging Democrats to switch their registration to the GOP and vote for a candidate they felt was more likely to lose, I have no doubt conservatives would be calling for their head

I don't think the falsification clause is enforceable. How do you prove a person is sincere when they change party allegiance before a primary? How do you prove they're not sincere?

Rush's tactics might have influenced some Republicans to vote in the Democratic primaries, but I doubt if there were enough to seriously skew the results. The polls consistently showed Hillary slightly ahead in both Pennsylvania and Ohio anyway.

IMO Rush's antics would probably be of most concern to the Obama camp. In their case it might be wise to pursue the allegations further.

First of all, it's the Democratic Party, not the "Democrat" Party. Cut the crap.

Second, Limbaugh has zero credibility. He admitted to his entire listening audience after the 2006 election that he had, and I quote, "Carried water for candidates whose water I do not feel deserved to be carried."

He lied to you. He did it on purpose because he literally felt the good of the Republican Party trumped the good of the nation, and the lack of honor/decency/competence of certain Republican candidates, and then he came on the air to breathe a sigh of relief because candidates he did not truly support were beaten. Why support someone like that?

This came after scandals such as the aforementioned oxycontin bust, which to this date he hasn't done any time for (checking yourself into rehab doesn't count, but, he's a celebrity so the rules of mortals don't apply to him). The man who used to say drug users should be executed got caught doing drugs. Why support someone like that?

And, it also came after he got caught carrying un-prescribed Viagra on a return trip from the Dominican Republic, a well-known haven for perverts because of the open availability of child hookers. Put two and two together and the result is scum. Why support someone like that?

You're judged by the company you keep. If you support the swine Rush, well, you can figure out the rest.

While I do not think they can enforce the Ohio election law against the thousands of people that might switch over to undermine the election, it is possible to to ensnare a small handful of high profile people. For example, it could be easy to prove the true political beliefs of somebody somebody whose political beliefs are well documented. (like a blogger, a writer who has published numerous articles about politics, a person who is a member of political groups, etc.)

I think the real issue would be the politics concerning the potential prosecution of "phony" democrats. The Democrats are eager to accept true converts and should expect to receive many genuine converts in this election cycle. If the Democrats attempt to prosecute false converts, they could end up alienating true converts.

The Republicans may also not approve of the prosecutions. They may feel that Democrats did similar things in the past and got away with it, so they too should be able to get away with it.

Honestly . . . who gives a crap?

Let people vote how they want too. If they want to screw things up, so be it.

Good God, the right to vote is so essential to democracy that it must be protected from fraud! One casts a vote because they believe in either the candidate or the party platform. To do so otherwise is fraud, a crime--even if one gets away with it!
Dont' we tell children that something is wrong regardless if you get caught?

In encouraging voters to be fraudulent, Rush coldcocked Justice and sucker punched Uncle Sam.

How dare he hold voting in so little disregard, so blatant contempt! What message does that send to Iraqis? Why, for God's sake, did 4000 American soldiers die and countless Iraqis die in a war to help that country have democracy, if fair and just voting is laughed at and used in a fraudulent manner!

How can one be so little of integrity to either vote with intent to deceive or encourage others to do so?

Rush not only encouraged a criminal act, nay, more than that , he pissed on American ideals. Benedict Arnold gave away a fort, Rush wants to give away the voting system.

Leave it to the Democrat Party to try to suppress the vote by intimidation.

The last thing we need is government interrogating you on the way you voted.

Are we going to arrest Barack Hussein Obama? There were claims that he was handing out leaflets encouraging registered Republicans to switch and vote for him?

Anyway payback is a dog's mother, how do you think Juan McCain got the Republican nomination?

Citizens should not confuse party politics with voting in a fraudulent manner, i.e. voting when you do not support the candidate or the party.

One "crosses party lines" to vote, when one either believes in the candidate or the party platform, not to turn the right to vote into a turn at a game.

In my family there are members from various American political parties. We exchange ideas, and there certainly have been members switching parties/voting across party lines as their beliefs change.

America should be about exchanging ideas, not voting with intent to defraud. Revenge and "payback is a bitch" are defeatist attitudes, after one has lost dignity and self-respect. Attitudes like this keep either a person or a nation down at the bottom. America and Americans are better than that!

Discuss and exchange ideas in a civil manner, and, yes, encourage others to change their beliefs and switch parties, but don't, don't mess with my vote or the votes of all my fellow Americans, regardless of party affiliation.

Messing with voting is truly un-American, going against what this great nation stands for.
