Rush Limbaugh should have his FCC license yanked.
RUSH: I know I'm fighting an uphill battle here, folks, on trying to convince you Republicans in Ohio and Texas to cross over, pimp yourselves for a day, vote for Hillary to keep this campaign going, this Uncivil War, Democrat Party. I know what's going to happen. Even if I convince you to do it -- remember what this is, this is about us winning. You have to understand, it's not about Hillary winning; it's about us winning. It's about our party winning. It's about those people losing.
There is just one problem, Ohio is a closed primary so in order to vote in the Democratic primary, voters have to sign a pledge declaring their allegiance to the Democratic party.
In a nutshell, here's how it's supposed to work: Ohio voters are allowed to switch party affiliations on the day of a primary election but only if they sign a pledge vowing to support their new party - and mean it...Lying on the pledge is a felony, punishable six to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine.
The Cleveland Plain Dealer found plenty of evidence pointing to Republicans who may be in violation of the law. More than 16,000 Republicans in Cuyahoga County alone switched parties to vote in the Democratic primary.
Those who crossed lines were supposed to sign a pledge card vowing allegiance to their new party.
In Cuyahoga County, dozens and dozens of Republicans scribbled addendums onto their pledges as new Democrats:
"For one day only."
"I don't believe in abortion."
In the days following the election, The Plain Dealer interviewed more than two dozen voters - most of them Republicans who crossed over to Democrats last week.
None - including five who acknowledged lying about supporting the Democrats - were challenged.
Emphasis mine.
Did Rush Limbaugh inform his listeners that what he was asking them to do was in fact a felony? Because it looks like some of those voters may now be in trouble if Cuyahoga County Board of Election member Sandy McNair has anything to say about it. McNair wants an investigation. That may prove to be bad news for Ohio Republican Sherry Newell and she has Rush Limbaugh to thank for that.
North Ridgeville Republican Hazel Sferry said she was kicking herself all day Tuesday after voting for McCain.
Don't get her wrong. Sferry supports McCain.
But after she voted, she ran into her niece who told her about "the plot."
Her niece, Republican Sherry Newell, crossed over Tuesday after hearing Limbaugh. Newell said she voted for Obama because she thought McCain had a better chance against him.
Buckeye State Blog is calling for a prosecution along with a response to those may feel the need yell hypocrite.
And before I get called on it, Michigan does not use a party pledge system.
