Former Democrat Congressman confesses to vote rigging
A Democrat once expelled from Congress for taking bribes has pleaded guilty to rigging the results of five years of elections.
Former U.S. Congressman Michael “Ozzie” Myers, 79, of Philadelphia, PA, pleaded guilty last week to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, and conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election for orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff the ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in the 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Pennsylvania elections, the U.S. Justice Department announced.
Myers admitting seeking “consulting fees” from numerous local Democrat candidates, then using part of the funds to bribe two election judges to falsify election results in Democrat primaries on behalf of clients and other candidates Myers favored.
“Specifically, Myers admitted in court to bribing the Judge of Elections for the 39th Ward, 36th Division in South Philadelphia, Domenick J. Demuro, in a fraudulent scheme over several years. Demuro, who was charged separately and pleaded guilty in May 2020, was responsible for overseeing the entire election process and all voter activities of his Division in accord with federal and state election laws,” the Justice Department announced in a statement.
