NAACP official convicted of voter fraud
In Tunica, Mississippi, ten guilty verdicts of voter fraud were returned yesterday against NAACP officer Lessadolla Sowers. She was sentenced to five years for each count without the possibility of parole and will serve the terms concurrently. Sowers manipulated the absentee ballot process in the 2007 election. Absentee ballots in Mississippi are notoriously subject to voter fraud. The District Court opinion in United States v. Ike Brown provides another outrageous example of systemic voter fraud in the casting of absentee ballots in Mississippi. Brown was also a NAACP and Democratic party official. The Tunica Times (subscription required) is the only media outlet covering Sowers’ conviction. No surprise there. And don’t expect the voter fraud deniers at the Brennan Center or Tova Wang at Demos to devote much attention to Sowers and her five year vacation in the pen.
one down 50 million to go.
thanks for the diligence Mr. Adams.
best regards
this sums it up succinctly
But surely this only happens in Mississippi, right? I mean the electoral process in places like Illinois, California, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, and Wisconsin are known to be upright, transparent, and honest. Aren’t they? And if there is a little vote fudging by the defenders of the common man, i.e. unions and Democratic activists, it’s justified by the inherent evil of the TEA party and Koch brothers, isn’t it?
Love the name, Lessadolla. Where did that come from?
“Lessadolla origin” returns one result on google.
Which googlewhack is about to be destroyed.
The case was tried to the court from January 16 to January 31, 2007.
The opinion is from a different case, the Ike Brown case which was indeed tried in 2007. This case has not had an opinion published, and was just tried this month. This case concerns events which took place during the Democrat’s party primary @ August of 2007 and it would have been truly amazing to have a trial before the crime took place.
Thanks FYI. Indeed, US v Ike Brown was tried in January 2007. The Tunica crimes took place in August 2007.
Is this 5 years total or 5 years for each guilty count totaling 50 years?
Five years on EACH count. Ten Counts. Total time: 50 years. BUT, the ten separate counts are to be served at the same time. Meaning, actual time served: 5 years.
Can anyone tell what Lessadolla’s button says? (In the photo at the “official” link above)
Obviously these racist Tea Partiers and repubs, constantly hollering about vote fraud, are just trying to disenfranchise minority voters. To make up for years of racisn, even dead black voters should be able to vote absentee, right. How dare these repubs try to stop fradulent votes for the people, ie dems.
One thing surprises me though. Considering how politicized the Holder DOJ is, how is it that these guys were investigated and convicted. There must be a few remaining honest career prosecutors left in the voting rights section that could not be intimidated into dropping the case by Holders goons. Either that, or the case against these guys was so strong, that even Holder wouldn’t dare to have it dropped.
I believe the case was started under the Bush administration.
this was tried under Mississippi law not federal law, and no federal prosecutors were used in the production of this conviction.
Not exactly on topic, but… if I’d been saddled with a name like Lessadolla, I suspect I’d be a bit off the rails too. Some parents really need a good kick in the rear.
Lessadolla? Good grief.
The real mockery is that the sentences were imposed to be served concurrently. Given the real injury of voter fraud (disenfranchising real voters) the sentences should be served consecutively.
For #7,Anon, she is wearing an Obama button on her lapel in the official Race hustling NAACP site’s picture of her. She looks like a real peach.
Won’t hear a word out of WLOX, the local demo pimp station.
We have major voter fraud going on in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming election. Hundreds of absentee ballots, many of those voting this way being paid $40 or $75 as “election workers” – who have absolutely no jobs to do. This is a regular occurrence, and nobody cares – this is what happened last November:
http://hoboken.patch.com/articles/occhipinti-paid-550-campaign-workers-40
“Newly elected Fourth Ward Councilman Tim Occhipinti paid more than 550 workers $40 each during the special election on Nov. 2 during which he received 1,240 votes….
During the election cycle, when the Lenz campaign tried to prove the alleged voter fraud, Bhalla argued that—at that time—78 out of 79 campaign workers, voted by mail only a few days after they had received their check…”
How can we get some attention to this fraud that is going on right now?
So uh who did she cast the votes for? Hmmmmmm
