Ohio Dems Want to Prosecute "Rush" Voters

"Operation Chaos" as orchestrated by Rush Limbaugh is working well as hundreds of thousands of Republicans have voted in Dem primaries in an effort to keep the battle going between Hillary and Obama. Some Democrats in Ohio actually want to prosecute Republicans who crossed over if they did so to help promote a weaker candidate on the Dem side:

CLEVELAND -- The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections is investigating whether any Republicans broke the law when they switched parties in the March 4 presidential primary to back the candidate that they perceived to be a weaker opponent for GOP nominee-in-waiting John McCain.

The board expects the results of the investigation March 31. The board wants to know if voters lied when they signed statements pledging allegiance to their new party.

About 16,000 GOP voters crossed over to vote for Democrats in the primary.

It's not clear whether the board will try to prosecute voters. A 2-2 tie by the board to pursue violators would have to be broken by Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat.

A Brunner spokeswoman said she hasn't been contacted about prosecuting crossover voters.

This is a lot of bluster. It'll never happen. Besides, the "Operation Chaos" voters were urged to vote for Hillary and her margin in Ohio was much bigger than the number of Republicans that might have voted to keep her in the race. Democrats would have a much better argument in Texas where it appears the "Rush" voters more than made up the margin of victory for Hillary.
